I am in my early 20s contemplating spending the remainder of my years with an excellent spouse. As an adult, I am looking at other young adults who could possibly be my life long partner. I am picturing this life as a ride on a train through the territories and seasons of life. I desire to make an excellent selection. So go with me and help me make that wonderful selection. I have made a list of some of the basics: Are we Both …….
On the same eternal express train? …. Vibrant Christians …..
In the same car? …… The learning and observation car …. The dining car …..
Traveling unencumbered? … no heavy baggage … no BEEPS: behaviors, experiences, events, substances, to continually drag us down …..
Remaining on the train? ….. The one way express ….. For better or worse …..
Appreciating the gracious Conductor who narrates and guides us all along the way? ….. Hearing and Following the Holy Spirit ….
Experiencing and Looking forward to the same excursions of life? …… Careers ….. Family ….. Ministries …. Pleasure …..
Enjoying being able to verbally and physically share the same adult and parental levels of relational maturity? ….. Both at an adult and parent level ….. True Friends …..
Looking forward to the joyful reunions at the final destination? .…. Leaving family heritages ….. Final retirement years …
Use this post as an outline for your own life and for those in your care to follow!!! Each of the categories can be expanded and modified ….. If I happen to be in my 40s or older, the same principles apply with different category modifications ……
