Day 238 Honoring My Husband's View

The picture all depends upon your view.

 Today I decided to take an alternate mode of transportation.  Instead of driving, I took a bus from   Baltimore to New Jersey.  The sun had gone down and it was a beautiful evening.  I was feeling pretty good because I had three hours I could use reading and not have to worry about paying attention to the roads.  As we proceeded down the highway, I happen to look up and for a moment I did not recognize where we were.  The bus was so far off the ground that the view looked very different to me. After about 20 seconds it dawned on me that we were on a road that I have crossed hundreds of times, maybe even thousands yet it looked very different to me.  It was at that moment God spoke to me to let me know just how different the view of the world is for folks who are vertically challenged and those who are vertically blessed.  Because of this experience, I am honoring my husband's view.

Both Bryan and I are considered vertically blessed.  We are taller than the average male and female.  I stand almost 6' and he is closer to 7'.  There are times we are in the same location but do not notice the same things.  He has pointed things out to me and I can recall saying, I can't see it or it looks different to me.  It was not until today, going across the bridge on the bus that I realized how different the view is for him.  So many times people will say to him or both of us, especially if I have on heels, "How is the view up there?"  I would bet they have no idea how different it really is and how beautiful it is.  The world seems a lot less chaotic when you are towering above everyone else. 

One of the things I recognized was that I did not notice all the traffic because the view above was so clear.  I can recall times when Bryan and I have been somewhere and I would say it seems really crowded in here, and he would say its not so bad.  It was because he could see beyond the crowd and I could not.  Today I am  honoring my husband's view by acknowledging and recognizing our differences in this area. 

Wives of the world how can you honor your husband's view?  Do you both have the same view of the world when it comes to your height or is it different?  How can you leverage the advantage you both have with such a difference?  Please share your stories with us; we would love to hear and learn from you.

Blessings,

Rochelle
