re-invent the wheel

This past wednesday was my wife's birthday and as usual I decided to give her a surprise. I left home early that morning without wishing her happybirthday. She later confessed to me that she was furious that I had again forgotten her birthday. But I had something up my sleeve. I decided to send her a sms to wish her happybirthday. I mustered all my creative juices and thought through how to word my love for my beloved. I must confess that yes, I did it.Giess what, my wife was blown away, she told me that that was one of the best birthday gifts she has ever received. She was glad that my poetic giftings had been revived.

My wife keeps reminding me of how I used to be very poetic when I was pursuing her. Oh how she remembers those love notes that used to just flow. But of late I had buried and forgotten my gift. I had taken my wife for granted and had fallen into the sin of familiarity. I know I'm talking for all men. When we were firt in love, we did crazy things for our sweethearts. Some like Adam and I become poetic "Now you are bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh" Adam said when he first saw Eve. But in the following chapter of the first book pf the Bible, after the fall of man, Adam blamed Eve and by extension God for what happened "It is the woman you gave me" Adam said. Isn't that just the way we deal with situations. Over time we have become so familiar with our Eve that instead of praising God for her, we are busy complaining about her. We have conquered so we think and have lost the excitement that we once had. Its time for us to re-invent our romantic wheel. The Bible exhorts us in the book of Revelation 2:5 "Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first". I am now committed to doing the things I did at first in my marriage, yes including stirring up my poetic gift and using to write some romantic poems to my beloved, won't you join me and let the celebration of love begin or continue in your marriage.
