I guess there’s never a bad time to give thanks. I’ve mentioned my husband and how grateful I am to be married to him in other articles, and I added him to Thanksgiving articles in which I discussed whom and what I’m most thankful for. However, I really think he deserves a page of his own.
I am a person of faith, and I thank God every day for this man He sent to share my life. I don’t know how anyone could know me better than my husband does. It’s almost eerie how he seems to know me, sometimes better than I know myself.
It’s been a little crazy around here, and admittedly, I’ve been a little crazy myself. So, what does my husband do? He helps me regain my sanity.
I’ve been overwhelmed lately, and I think part of my problem is a lack of sleep. I don’t sleep half the time because I’ve got too much going on, and I can’t sleep half the time for the same reason. My husband recognized how tired I’ve been and decided to let me sleep in Monday. He got up and took the kids to school.
Well, it’s the thought that counts, right? Even though the kids woke me up anyway, I thought it was a nice gesture. I did get to sleep an extra 15 minutes. So what did my husband do? He took them to school Tuesday too! I actually slept until 8:30!
It’s not like he never helps with the kids, because he does. It’s just not usually something he does so early in the morning. He tends to work really late, so he’s not much of a morning person. I guess that’s what made it even more important to me, that he would actually get up early so that I could get some extra sleep and that it was all his idea.
I’m feeling much better, more rested, and more appreciated. Now, I can’t wait to do something nice for him. It’s not just gestures like these that make me feel thankful, but they sure don’t hurt!
