I still haven't figured out what a chillin day is, but I have learned, if I want what she wants, that makes it all the more wonderful.

there's a thrift store I haven't been to in a month. Let's stop and see 
what they got." 

Coming out of the thrift store with a shopping cart full of stuff, “I
sure am grateful that we stopped here today. Look at all the wonderful 
stuff I got and look at how much money I saved.” 

Driving out of the parking lot and onto the main highway, we went for
just a few minutes, and then my wife said, "Oh, look over there. They 
have some material I need to get to finish the project I'm working on. 
Let's stop there for a minute." 

We brought out another shopping cart full of "stuff" she needed for her
project. I glanced at her as we got into the van, and she was smiling. 

I made the mistake of asking her, “Why are you smiling?” 

"Oh," she said, chuckling, "this is the best chillin day I've had, in, I
can't remember how long. Aren't you glad we took this day off to 
chill?" 

It was about suppertime, so I suggested we stop at a local restaurant
for supper. While we were enjoying our supper together, she entertained 
me with all of the wonderful stuff she got and all the money she saved 
by shopping at these thrift stores. 

We got home and sat down in the living room after we had unloaded her
van, and she said, "This has been a wonderful time together. We should 
do this more often." And she looked at me and smiled, and I returned 
her smile thinking, I don't think so. 

As she talked, I couldn't help but think of one of my favorite Old
Testament passages. "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” 
(Amos 3:3). 

I still haven't figured out what a chillin day is, but I have learned,
if I want what she wants, that makes it all the more wonderful.
