I loved your conclusion too! "Every year we get a little more practice in dying to our own desires, in choosing one another over comfort. I’m not looking forward to our next pivot, but I know when the time comes, God will give me the grace to do it ..." - powerful stuff! As someone who has dietary issues, I SO appreciate my husband's grace and patience. Simple things like family breakfasts and eating out aren't so simple anymore, but we make it work :)
My husband and I used to go out to brunch every week after church, and it was one of the first things we cut when our kids were born and we had to tighten the budget. This piece made me think of all those sweet memories!
Aw, I'm sad to hear about your husband's dietary difficulties, but this post was also so good to read. I love the last three lines. "Every year we get a little more practice in dying to our own desires, in choosing one another over comfort. I’m not looking forward to our next pivot, but I know when the time comes, God will give me the grace to do it..." Rooting for your family and all your future breakfast adventures! :)
