Neil has been taking Antonella on dates since she was about two years old. They usually go out to eat and then to Starbucks to play games and talk. Although sometimes the dates are a bit more elaborate, including a roller coaster ride or a little shopping, there is one thing that every date includes- a question. The same question, actually, every time they go out together.
How’s your heart?
This tradition opens the door to the conversations that shape our daughter’s heart. She knows it’s coming, she knows that a simple “fine” will not suffice. She knows what matters to her daddy, and she knows what has eternal value.
What she may not know now, however, is that her daddy is a very tough act to follow.
This makes my heart very happy. Thanks for sharing….
Lord You have my heart
And I will search for Yours
Jesus take my life and lead me on
Lord You have my heart
And I will search for Yours
Let me be to You a sacrifice
And I will praise You Lord
And I will sing of love come down
And as You show Your face
We’ll see Your glory here
Your post made me think of this beautiful song.
Love,
Nina

This is absolutely stunning. I too have not found a bunk bed that I love and ended up just getting one out of desperation.
Don’t you love brothers?!
It’s the small things they will remember this is a great idea, thanks for sharing.
