"Love is the pulse of sacrifice"

This is a beautiful look into a real marriage, where the stuff of sacrifice is frequent but viewed with gratitude. You can read Ann Voskamp's story here, but in case you aren't convinced that it's worth clicking, I'll share a piece:

Marital love is a demanding and dying thing compared to the stuff of movies and mirages.

The love of imagination — it’s a different beast entirely than love made in the image of a Saviour with nails in His hands.

The Farmer writes little with pens. He’s a man who prefers to write his love letters with his life.

I need to write down my thanks.

Stop here, to read the story that started the reflection.
