Sea green/blue is Johann's colour. He loves the freshness of it and looks amazing in it when he wears it.
Because of these two colours, I often try to find gifts in these colours to remind Johann of us and what we have committed to each other.
Johann was having a frustrating day last week and because he was at work all day and I had an evening class, there wasn't much I could do but phone/email/text him happy thoughts throughout the day.
I didn't know what I could do and then an idea hit me.
It was really cold here last week where I live and it really felt like winter wasn't going to go anywhere.
As a result, I went to the local grocery store after my class ended and purchased some crocus bulbs that hadn't started to bloom yet.
I gave them to Johann as a way to cheer him and remind him that I loved him. A plus of these crocuses is that they bloom in purple.
I forgot about them until my fiance excitedly came into Sunday School and declared to me that three had started to bloom the day before and on Sunday morning, six blooms were just waiting to open in all of their splendour. He was so excited and there was so much joy on his face.
The flowers reminded me that, while we have those frustrating and unproductive days, if we wait long enough, the results of all of our efforts will show. If we invest in love only a little, can you imagine what our return will be? Invest wholeheartedly into your relationship. Every day. You may not see the results right away, but if we are patient enough, we will see the results of our investment.
Looking forward to spring!
