This is great! I think traditions are important but so is learning how to rest and be at peace instead of putting ourselves under pressure and guilt.

We need to be realistic about marriage nowadays and go into it understanding that whilst we are marrying our best friend and everything will be wonderful because we love each other, life puts pressure on us and this can make things hard for couples at times. Yet, if we are able to overcome our difficulties we come out stronger.

This is such a massive subject, Christina and I think for so many of us we need to have ears for the truth, attuned to God's voice of love. And to learn to resist those lies, the things that we so easily believe about ourselves that can become part of our identity but weren't how we were created to be.

Christina, I think the discipline of counting our blessings and being thankful is so important. However, we do it either through a journal or some other way I think it brings so much glory to God when we intentionally notice how blessed we are. And a thankful attitude brings us peace and joy to cope with the struggles in life.

You have written some great wisdom here, Christina. I always think about how Christ washed Judas' feet in the same way He washed the other disciple's feet. Huge challenge here to strive for a forgiving heart.

Love your roundup, Christina. I too love to get up early and enjoy the peace and quiet to be most productive first thing in the morning.
