I'm looking forward to date night with T (Thai food and movies!) plus church and fellowship and hanging out with friends.
It's been a busy week!
One of my favorite parts of the end of the week is FMF!

Today's word is: Cherished
To be 'cherished' is to hold something close to your heart. A memory. A person. An object of affection. It's to look fondly upon something or someone, reveling in the love and admiration you have for them.
I often think of 'cherished' as an 'old-timey' word. An adjective worthy of the soothing vocals of a jazz singer of yore. Or of a young child and their doll, the way it will never leave their side- often held on to tightly day and night.
To me, cherishing someone is the most beautiful way to love. To hold someone is esteem so high they are closest to your heart. That to think of them is to feel your heart swell with love and adoration.
I cherish my husband to be. And all the memories we have made and will make.
I cherish my God, the way he also cherishes me- holding me up, adoring me, remembering me with love.
This was a hard word for me...not something I use in my regular vocabulary that's for sure.
What feelings does the word 'cherish' evoke for you?
Give FMF a try and link up over at Lisa Jo Baker's blog.
I agree with that..."cherished" is not something we use a lot. Great to think about God cherishing us though for sure.
