I’m over at Today’s Christian Woman today, writing about what an old bed-and-breakfast taught me about the hard, beautiful work of marriage.
When my husband and I went away for the weekend to mark our second anniversary, we were looking for a place that fit in our budget and could squeeze into the boxes on the already-full calendar. What we hadn’t anticipated was that we’d meet a house with a story—a house that served as a poignant metaphor of marriage. . . .

A beautiful post. I love old houses – visiting them and writing about them. And you captured this great comparison to marriage.
Thanks, Linda! God uses a lot of metaphors to teach me…he must know I’m not very quick at catching on to linear teaching. 🙂
Stephanie, it is definately a gift to see those metaphors. Many people, including me, often miss the parallels between God’s nature and the world.
Thanks for the note, Nancy! Can’t wait to see you soon!
