Every morning I wake up with a head full of things to do. I scramble around trying to put them in lists of importance all while trying to keep the peace within my little brood (trying to recall everything I've learned and read about parenting at the same time.) I love being a wife and the quirks that come with having my man forever. I love to be creative and thrive on crossing off my to do list. I strive to find balance and put first things first which brings me PEACE & JOY and allows me to sleep so much easier when I do. I think that one of the secrets to being HAPPY in life is to find that balance. I'm learning how to be kinder to myself and learning patience in progress. Everyday, through the thick and thin of life I'm trying to turn my heart towards heaven and remember what's really important.Oh, and I love to eat, so much so that I love to exercise too.

Ways to Serve Your Husband: Little Things to Make a Happy Marriage

"Serving a husband is a duty to be cherished. By diligently praying for him, performing thoughtful acts of kindness for him, and showing a deep seated respect for him, a marriage will pulsate with life."


My thoughts this morning?
They're of Jeff.
He's an hour away.
Sitting at a desk.
He doesn't love what he does.
But he loves us, so he does what he doesn't love.
I'm thinking.
How I could serve him more?
What is he worried about?
Does he want to confide in me?
Is he happy?
He needs my praise, my admiration.
I become complaisant here and there.
I take him for granted.
He wakes up.
He comes home.
I kiss him.
I hurry.
I jabber about whatever.
Dinner.
Tuck in the kids.
More jabber.
Sleep.
We do it all again.

I love him.
Does he know?
Those words roll of my tongue easily now.
At first those words were more timid.
Now- so easy to say.
Now -not as easy to do.
Selfish gets in the way.
My wants,
my thoughts.
My faults,
my fears.
I will pray for him.
I will do for him.
I will smile for him.

I love him.
