My point for Go Tell John was to explore the Gospels through the year and how much Christ has lived through our family.
Last night I had dinner with just my husband. Our service was terrible and the food wasn't awesome but the dinner was incredible. Nick never stops amazing me. The man I have seen him grow into over the last 12 years is awesome. Last night I was looking across the table at my best friend just like I have a million times before but last night he was my best friend and my husband. My team mate and partner.
We have iCloud (I'm sure a lot of people have this) but its where you can sync all of your music, apps and calendars together. Oh my gosh it was like God knew our struggles as a couple and shined down on us this electronic gift of keeping us on track with each other's schedules. Seriously, this calendar might have changed our lives as a family :-) Ok- that is an exaggeration but, it is amazing. Also what is incredible is this app that we have where we can read each day's Mass readings, Gospels, feast days and prayers. Now this is the point I have been trying to get to: Nick is reading these. Everyday.
We come together in the evening and talk about the Gospel readings. Last night we talked about the disciple whom Jesus loved. We talked about how the 3 wise men tricked Herod. We talked about the Feast of Holy Innocence. The things I wanted to have in my family; talking about our faith, praying and discussing Christ together.
I think we still have a long way to go and I know I have have a looonngg way to go to get closer to Christ BUT I also know God put my husband in my life to make me a better person. And I know the reasons why we were married in the first place are still the reasons why we work so well together 6 years later (we are helping each other get to heaven - I might need more help than him...)
So go tell John...
