Today, my parents told me that our neighbor's daughter had recently gotten married and added, "Her parents must be so happy. Our time for that hasn't come yet."
Lately, I feel like I've had to be a lot more of the parent, and it's been very annoying because it's not my 'role.' But in that moment, I realized that I'm going to need to learn to love to serve in mundane times - among many other character flaws I need to check - if I'm going to be a good wife to someone. So I'm thankful for the practice if it'll give me a better footing. And I hope my parents will see that happy day with me... eventually.
