LAST WEEK – (Day 2 of 6)
(Need to start at the beginning? Day 1)
One of the teens on the property just passed his GED tests. So, of course, we had a party and sang Happy G-E-D to You! Can’t pass up a good opportunity to celebrate. 🙂
The other teen on the property has chosen to finish out high school with home learning through a local school.
Both boys took their time and considered what would serve them well.
I am exceedingly proud they were so self-directed. They listened to others, but then made choices that that gave them the consequences they wanted. I think they have a leg up in life because they were able to do this. They’re thinking things through and acting smart.
IMO this is a part of the “Well” in Doing Marriage Well.
There are some hard, fast marriage rules (like being faithful to each other), but much of life and marriage is about preferences and choices. There are a lot of good things you could do, but what would best serve you and your marriage?
Thinking it through and stepping out takes courage, but can have amazing results.
More thoughts on how I want to spend my time …
I really and truly need to dejunk my home. I need less clutter so our space can breathe and to make cleaning easier for me.
Yup, Goodwill is going to love seeing me.
