Husband's
#1 - The gift of good busy - Over the past two weeks we've had the NCAA tourney, a weekend getaway, our best friends having a new baby (handsome little A.J.), traveling to see my bro and sis-in-law. Now it is time for some "good lazy."
#2 - The gift of a challenge - I read a book a couple weekends ago, one I didn't completely agree with (Love Wins by Rob Bell). But the beauty is how thought explodes when it is challenged. Deep thoughts, hard thoughts, disturbing thoughts, enlightening thoughts - but all thoughts that lead to a beautiful God.
#3 - The gift of new music - In a week, I'm headed to Calvin College's Festival of Faith and Music. There are 6 concerts over three days, and only one by a band/performer I had on my iTunes. So I've been listening to a lot of the others. The Civil Wars - awesome. Matisyahu - instant Big Son favorite (plus his real name is Matthew Miller, cool name!)
#4 - The gift of our brown blankie - It's soft, it's cozy, it's filled with little fluffy feathers. I laid under it today with Little Boy, Big Boy, and as soon as I move this laptop aside, I'll be sliding underneath it with my hot Wifey to watch "The Biggest Loser." Okay, so I'll probably be falling asleep while she watches the loser, but whatever...
What's your favorite household comfort? What new music have you found this month?
Favorite comfort is snuggling in the big brown chair in our bedroom with my husband at the end of the day. It could be 5 minutes or an hour, but I instantly relax into our relationship and love. Usually no words are needed, just the soft touch of a hand and shoulder to lean on. Softness and strength, those are the words that also describe my husband, also a household comfort!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are going to the Festival of Faith and Music--I think that looks so great. I can't wait to hear about your new favorite bands you discover. Our new music from this month: Ghostland Observatory. We are going to see them with an old favorite of ours, Thievery Corporation, at Red Rocks in August.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard about Love Wins--I'd love an email recap of what it's about and your thoughts. We just started to read a book dad brought for us called "A Hole in the Gospel".
On to my favorite household comforts...our big fluffy green couch that we watch episodes of Friday Night Lights and Mad Men on; the feeling after a jog around the park as these nights get warmer; the joy of putting on Ryan's big blue robe when I don't want to put on my own; my nightly cup of hot tea with something sweet after dinner; and lastly, the feeling of my husband's "welcome home" hugs and kisses. He is truly my #1 favorite household comfort!
Love you!
