My hubby is in Mexico ministering to Tamahara Indians with 13 other men from here. How I miss him yet how happy I am that he was able to GO! My heart is in this with him.
He is there, and I am here. I am praying often for him and for all God is doing there in Mexico.
I was hit this morning of all the little things Dave does that I have often taken for granted. And it makes me wonder about myself. I 'thought' I was a pretty 'thankful' wife. Since he has been gone, I now know I am not as much as I should be. (There is hope!)
~waking up to no coffee smells (he is the coffee master here)
~realizing the dogs are sitting in his chair for a lonngggg time waiting for him (he throws the ball in the mornings to them as he reads)
~packing the car myself for Sunday
~warming up the vehicle on a cold morning
~someone to laugh with as we make the bed together in the mornings.....
~Rebekah and I realizing late last night that no one fed Taffy and Emma this morning ~ yikes!
~Someone asking when dinner will be ready......
~The oohs and ahhs over something I threw together and called it dinner
~Mailman here....is two days of mail really still sitting in our mailbox?
~his smile
~his presence
It really is amazing to me how much effort it takes to 'focus' and get things done around here when my honey is not here. I find myself not motivated. I am a lost case. I seem to wander around and look at things....hahaha. Monday is laundry day and I have not done one load. I feel like loose ends here.
Yes, Rebekah fed Taffy and Emma this morning!
I made my own coffee, though doesn't taste the same.
Silence as I made the bed this morning.
Only 5 days to go.......
My life is sweet not bitter,
Grateful in a new way, Lynette
This encouraged my heart so much. With Jason home all day every day, I *know* that I take him for granted - he does so much to encourage me and love me, even though he's working so hard.
ReplyDeleteI want to be grateful in a new way, too. Thank you for helping me to do that, Sherry.
