This year Katie's birthday post includes a surprise gathering, a long marriage, and a poem about boundary stones and covenant love.
Sometimes a birthday is less about getting older and more about noticing the ground youโve been given to stand on.
Over 20 years ago we discovered that tea made us slow down, and thatโs what we need. The whole processโ measuring and filtering and waitingโ is a metaphor for the intentionality of marriage itself.
We have not learned to love our wife if we have not learned to provide unexpected and gracious gifts that reflect our knowing and understanding her heart.
