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!
