Coming Home from Work...

   Lately I have been thinking a lot about what makes my husband look forward to coming home after a long hard day at work!? Many things roll through this brain! But I want to share a personal experience that took place not so long ago!
   I purposed  to quit what I was doing when the children yelled, "Mom, Dad's home!" And to go out to meet him before he came in and if possible to even beat the children out the door or at least right at the door way! And I would always greet him with a kiss!! I'd also have either an iced coffee or hot cocoa or a glass of iced water to hand to him! Well a week or so passed and I done really well then life happened and I got side tracked it seemed like every night right at that time and before I realized it I had gotten out of the habit of meeting him with a drink (even if it was just water). While a week or so went by and one night Moine and I got to talking. Moine said, " Honey, I'm sorry it has taken me so long to tell you but I want you to know that you stopping what your doing and coming to meet me when I get home really means a lot to me! And the special drink you'd bring me was always a special bonus!"
   Opps, I felt awful! He didn't mean to make me feel that way he just knew if he waited longer I'd ask him why he didn't tell me sooner! So he was just sharing his heart cause he knew I'd want to know!
   It did me good to hear it and I realized how much it truly did mean to him! So ladies I challenge you to stop what you are doing when he gets home from work and go meet your husbands! Focus completely on HIM!! And when you can meet him with a drink that you know would be special even if its just ice water or coffee!  It realy only takes a few minutes and means so much!!
   I'm thankful I have the opportunity to be able to do this cause at one point in my life I couldn't and I know there are some of you who will read this that don't have that opportunity each night! I'm so blessed!!  I will continue to go meet my husband daily if at all possible!  Blessings to each of you as you continue to try to make your husbands feel special and loved!
   And to any husbands who read this wives (or most wives) love to be brought something special home to them as well! My husband has numerous times come home and when I met him he would hand me (not all in one night but these are things that he knows I don't get often and are special treats to me so one at a time or a couple at a time only) a single rose or another flower, a bouquet of roses, or just a bouquet of a variety of flowers, a fountain pepsi  from a gas station, chocolate 'reeses most times' and other special items! While trucking he brought me home a shirt and ect...! Blessings to you all as you continue to  make your wives feel special and loved!
   One thing someone told us when we got married was just cause your married doesn't mean you stop pursuing each other! Keep Pursuing the love of your life!!  Blessings to all!

An Overwhelming night...

   A supper were little was eaten and no unkind words were spoken...

 

   You know that day when you just can't think what to make for supper and when you finally think of something well you know its not a favorite of your husbands but he will eat it.   Well that day came here a week or so ago and after debating awhile and not having much time left I decided I would go ahead and make it but also determined to make a menu out for at least 2 weeks if not a month at a time so that this wouldn't happen again.
    Supper time came and I noticed my youngest daughter had eaten about 4 times the amount of supper then my husband had eaten. He hadn't eaten much at all. I soon began to feel really bad so I offered to make him a salad or go make him something else but he politely says, "No, its okay! You worked so hard today and made supper this is just fine no need to make me anything else!" We all left the table and bless his heart he never went and ate an ice cream or anything else either.
    Moine soon showered and went on to bed. I knew that he had to be hungry. I mean seriously he only ate like 5 bites of supper. I went on about my night, preparing his lunch as much as I could for the next day and put the children to bed! 
   I was thinking how he could of complained or even went and got himself something to eat but nope he  didn't. He also had no mean word to say to me and was very sweet and kind. I was so touched! It brought tears to my eyes as I crawled in beside him knowing he went to bed feeling hungry cause he didn't want to risk hurting or making me feel bad for what I made for supper. It was a huge hit with the children!
    I decide to wake Moine up and see if he wanted to eat a special dish of food with me! I said, "Honey, would you like to wake up long enough to enjoy this with me?" He  woke up his eyes got big and he said, "Sure!" So we enjoyed a midnight snack together!! 
    After several piecies Moine looks up at me and says," Thank You so much hunny that hit the spot! Now I think I can actually sleep!"
    I was so glad I had woken him up and we could have a special treat together! This incident has stuck with me and I'm sure it will for a very long time!
    I had to think of how Jesus gave up so much too for YOU and ME and He done it for FREE, NO complaining and He was hungry too. I was very overwhelmed!! I thank my in-laws for such an amazing husband!!! I'm so Blessed!! 
    Thank You Jesus for All you've done and do for me!
