On Sunday, my wife and I walked by a downtown Jerusalem music store we’ve passed many times over the last 6 years. We never walked in, but on Sunday my wife said “let’s see those guitars on the wall.”
Lo and behold, we find a small group of handmade in Israel instruments. My wife convinced me to sit down and play one of them, which I did. They were all amazing, but one just stood out. It played like a dream and sounded like angels singing.
My wife had a look in her eye that I know well. Moments later, she plunked down a credit card and we walked out with this magnificent beauty, which I can’t put down - it just beckons me to play.
The lesson - treat your wife really well. Who know? Maybe some day she’ll buy you that axe you’ve been dreaming of!
