I once made a mistake along this line. She came back with one of her
purchases and I quickly pulled out my wallet that had $26 in it and 
said, “Look what I saved today, $26.” Trust me, I never did that again. 
She responded by saying, “Great, you can buy supper tonight.” 

Vacation time means different things to different people. Years ago when
I discovered what it meant to her, it made my vacation time all that 
much better. 

I was begrudging the fact that our vacation time was over and slowly
started packing my suitcase. I hope I got enough rest during this 
vacation. I am not sure you can get enough rest on any vacation, but at 
least I tried. 

Driving home from our vacation, I could not help but think of that
wonderful verse in the Old Testament. “Can two walk together, except 
they be agreed?” (Amos 3:3). 

Walking together doesn't mean you are dressed alike or you have the same
likes and dislikes. Walking together means, you're going in the same 
direction. 

Her likes happened to be thrift stores. She knows everything there is to
be known about a thrift store. She knows every thrift store within a 
100-mile radius. 

Me, I know relatively little about a thrift store. If they have a shelf
with some books on it, I will take some interest. 

Driving home, she gave a detailed description of all the wonderful
purchases she made at those thrift stores. It made her happy and 
therefore I was happy. That is what it means to “walk together.”
