AN EXTRA WEEK – (Day 4 of 6)
What have you learned so far this week?
BE IN HARMONY WITH OTHERS – play well together.
SERVE OTHERS – ’cause you love them.
BE CONTENT – ’cause God is your provider.
I’m back to seeing the need for being practical and intentional. Regardless of what I’m considering and working on, if I don’t have a plan, I don’t actually get anything done.
Paul loves to cook and he really enjoys making pies (I enjoy eating them, so we are a good team). The apples shown in yesterday’s post were gifted to us and Paul was looking forward to baking with them.
Well, then life, and the apples ended up sitting on a shelf (sooner or later they would age out if ignored). The apples didn’t even make my to-do list until I focused on service.
I remembered how much he was looking forward to being able to produce apple pies in winter. Cutting up a bunch of apples seems like a small insignificant thing, but given context it was a way of serving him.
What blesses your spouse? How can you plan for it and make it happen?
Well, we finally got snow.
The ground was too warm for it to stick and stay, but that’s our notice that everything outside needs to be done. Winter is here.
