"I eat my peas with honey;
I've done it all my life.
It makes the peas taste funny,
But it keeps them on the knife."
I learned this poem from one of the dearest people I know as we sat around the dinner table this evening. This is the kind of enjoyment they share when I'm with them. A couple who we have to our house every time I'm home. They show as much love to each other as they show to the ones around them. I always feel warm when I'm with them.
They are some of the funniest people I know as well. I wish I could remember all the things they say, it just fills my heart to the brim.
Knowing the Vendens has given me a true example of what I want to be like someday. Someone who loves others, loves their spouse, makes people laugh, and when they talk about Jesus, you can see excitement all over. I wish you all could meet them. Maybe someday you will. ;)
I was sitting next to her with a fuzzy blanket over our laps as she wrote a short Christmas card to my parents. I could tell she was pondering what to say to finish it. She looked up at me with a sparkle in her eye and said, "I think I'll sign it 'me and him'. They won't get us mixed up." She winked and signed the card with gusto.
