It seems my family is presented with challenges daily. Well, really, whose family isn't? Maybe we just feel that the challenge fairy picks us more than others..maybe we are being selfish by taking all the stressful challenges for ourselves. My husband and I would be very happy to share these daily life challenges and stresses with anyone who would be willing to take them from us.
Be it financial, time, car problems, scheduling problems, household problems, medical problems, putting the kids first we are here for it all. The long haul. We have been married for almost 7 years, I can't even believe that, and in that 7 years we have endured many, many, many trials. I found these Buddhist wedding vows on the internet and found them fitting...
“In the future, happy occasions will come as surely as the morning. Difficult times will come as surely as the night. When things go joyously, meditate according to the Buddhist tradition. When things go badly, meditate. Meditation in the manner of the Compassionate Buddha will guide your life. To say the words ‘love and compassion’ is easy.But to accept that love and compassion are built upon patience and perseverance is not easy.”
