Be with them.
Right now as I write this, we’re starting to slowly emerge out of quarantine. We've had lots of time as a family to truly be with each other. We can see each other, live in the same house, but not truly be with each other. Prior to the quarantine, our weekends would fill up with events, date nights, birthday parties, boating, and all kinds of fun activities. We would be home in between all of these events, but never home long enough to dwell or linger. We’re learning what it looks like to truly dwell with each other, and sometimes it’s hard. We’re hitting the same dynamics over and over again that make us mad, but it’s also a chance to know each other like we’ve never known each other before. What are our deepest needs, or desires? What do we want from each other? How can we serve each other? What are our boundaries? When we have the chance to be with each other, we become known.
Listen in for a short share on what this has looked like for us in this season.
