Good Morning,
I have with me at my desk a large, very hot mug of Door County German Chocolate Cake Coffee and two sleepy Springer Spaniels sitting on my feet.
Philippians 2:3-4 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves . 4. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
A few years ago my wife Rene and I visited Hawaii. One of the last things we did before coming home was to take a ride and view Oahu from helicopter. It was one of the things on Rene's bucket list and it was my pleasure to take that flight with her. The day was perfect as far as the weather and winds. So it was a smooth ride. Once on the ground we boarded a plane about three hours later and headed home to Wisconsin.
The whole trip was very nice and we have a neighbor to thank for helping us plan it out. But what I saw from the helicopter was something that Rene had wanted to do for years. One of her dreams came true and I was there to see the tears roll down her face as we took off for a view from the sky. It was more of a view to see her that happy than the waterfalls and seaside landscape.
It is important that as couples we can appreciate our spouse's bucket list and try to make it happen if possible. When they said I Do you married them and they shared their dreams with you. You are at times the Keeper Of The List.
Sharing their dreams with you should never be taken lightly nor poked fun of. A dream shared is a moment of intimacy as they show you their heart and mind.
So it takes a dedicated heart on your part to listen with your ears, mind and heart.
Food for thought!
Marty
