flip flops
It was about 11:30 when I fell into bed the other night. We had just returned from Gatlinburg, and I was exhausted. As I snuggled up to my husband, he said something to me that made my heart swell so much I thought it might burst. He told me that he loved to hear my flip flops flopping through the house. Now, you may think, ‘what is so special about that?’ Well, those who know me well, know that I wear flip flops all day long. When I get up in the morning, the first thing I do is put on my flip flops. I just do not like to go barefoot. I have been criticized for a lot of things, wearing shoes all the time is one of them. So, when I crawled into bed that night and Darren said those simple little words to me, in his eyes I was loved and accepted for the quirky person I am. That meant a lot to me. I don’t even think he knows how much. I have told him time and time again that I see God in Him. He loves unconditionally, just like God. And even though there are times when he acts a little bit more like the devil than God, he still can make my heart soar with simple little words like he spoke that night. |
