After the Sunday service we debated where to go eat for lunch. It’s actually our 13th year wedding anniversary today and we talked about how we were going to spend today for weeks. I, of course, had my heart sat on going to one of fine restaurants in the city…but we decided to cancel everything and just stay low key. As a family we’ve been talking about making a sacrificial givings to our church campaign, building God’s kingdom…so this was sort of in leu of that decision.
So we went to Houston’s for lunch because Andrew’s always been a fan of their food but we haven’t been there for years. We have a lot of good memories of the restaurant food, as it was our go-to place to gather with our friends after work when I was living in the city. I lived a block away from Houston’s when we were dating and we would always get spinach dip while waiting for the rest of the crew to join us.
The lunch was delicious. We enjoyed everything we ordered, enjoyed the low key family style and had a great meal. But our lovely waitress and even a manager popped in a few times apologizing for their tardiness. We honestly didn’t even realize our food was taking too long and when they brought out our dessert, they told me our check had been taken care of and we were free to go. Wait, what? …what just happened.
Thank you Houston’s for our wonderful free meal on our anniversary!! Wow, one of the best services we ever experienced!
Thank you God for noticing the littlest efforts in our hearts and always reminding us that YOU are real and so loving. We Love you so much! Please help us to never lose track of what is the most important thing in life and thank you for making us a part of your plan.
