Just beautiful. Each morning Michael asks me to make his lunch and I struggle in my heart every time. Excuses immediately enter my mind "I'm too tired" "I stayed up to feed the baby" "Why can't he make his own lunch?". It is so comforting to hear another women be honest about this crappy attitude we women carry around with us. Crappy is an excellent way to discribe it. This attitude steals away so much opportunity to serve and build intamacy in my marraige. When I do get up some mornings I find myself having a great conversation with my husband that would have never happened if I stayed in bed. I'm sick of thinking that a nice vacation or "time away", although good things, will restore our intamacy. I'm slowly learning that it's these moments of service that bring us together. Thank you Jen for sharing this. By the way, where did you get that aweome lunch bag? Beautiful. Just beautiful. Each morning Michael asks me to make his lunch and I struggle in my heart every time.

I am still on it. I think it is a life time of conforming to God's will and ways. But oh the joy of that submission! I thank God I am not so easily trapped anymore by the silliness of a stiff neck and crappy attitude. I have the freedom in the small joys and blessings of serving my man and my kids, as Christ served me. I feel sorry for those women who cant see that. I thank God that sweet moment of imagining my husband opening his lunch and finding the energy from that nourishment, to serve us, his family, for the rest of the day! I know this sounds sappy, and I really am not a happy campy type of girl, but this was a big hurdle for me, and there for a big blessing! Thanks for the reminder. In Him Lucinda Jen
