This is how long I've had the pleasure, responsibility, challenge and pure joy of being married to John. (Our anniversary is the 14th-more to come on this)

I can't count the kisses, laughs, tears, or prayers we've shared. I can't count the meals, cups of coffee, loads of dishes or laundry, or text messages. I can't measure the pain of being separated nor the joy of reunion. I could probably count the number of movies we've agreed were good (5 or 6- we have very different tastes!).

In Psalms 90:12, the psalmist requests of God, "So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom."

I want to count the right things about my married days and I want the right things to count.
