Alessa, from Carolina Heartstrings, responded to a post a while back – and her response put such a beautiful picture in my mind.
She said:
… I would answer “a safe harbor”. A trusted, comfortable place that one looks forward to being at/with.
Have you become your spouse’s “safe harbor”?
When your spouse comes home to you – do they feel safe?
Comfortable? Cared for? Contented?
A harbor is a place sheltered from a storm. Sometimes a harbor is a natural spot - with deep water protected by land on three sides. Other times a harbor is created by dredging out a deep spot, and constructing a breakwater. In either case, boats can dock and weather a storm in relative safety.
Sometimes our lives resemble a storm – with hurricane winds and torrential rain. When your love spends time with you, can they receive a respite from those storms?
How are you a “safe harbor” for your spouse?
Lori, you have always been my ‘safe harbor.’ Thank you!!
