One of my greatest pleasures in life is spending time with My Wife on the weekends. I have been blessed by God to be able to spend my off days with her. Recently I have been promoted to Sous Chef at work, which means more buy in from my boss and more of my time needs to be available to be at work. At the same time, one of the biggest issues for me to go on board as a salaried employee is to have more nights and weekends off to spend with My Wife. So there is a balance, when I'm scheduled, I'm there, when I'm not scheduled, I think about work.
Today being Saturday, it should be a day that I look forward to, but I'm not. My Wife is away for the weekend visiting her cousins. So I'm home, by myself, feeling like a lost puppy with out her. It makes see how I need to be even more grateful for My Wife. With the amount of snow that fell on Wednesday and Thursday, she was home and took care of our nest. Decorating, cleaning, cooking and just making it more and more like home. This are things I want her to do, and yet I feel like I am not doing my part in keeping up with the house.
You see, she is currently in Law School and is away from home four nights a week and I'm home two of those nights. I need to be entirely more supportive of her and in that, make the effort to not only pick up after myself, but to pick up the whole house. These are the tangible things, I need to be more supportive of her spiritually as well. Probably making effort to sit and have a quiet time with her, praying with her and over all, asking what has she learned from God. I know this is something that I wanted to set out to do earlier in the year, and I know I need to get over myself and just say, "hey, let's do this." I know this has to happen as soon as she gets back on Monday.
