Thank you, Lord, that my husband has such a hearty appetite and enjoys my food so much. It is a joy to cook for him.
Thank you, Lord, that my husband always cleans his plate. It is an honor to wash his dishes.
Thank you, Lord, that I can participate in my husband's work in the dusty fields by sweeping and vacuuming these dusty floors.
Thank you, Lord, that we have indoor, clean, heated plumbing. It is a luxury to clean bathrooms.
Thank you, Lord, that the very tasks which often seem burdens are actually great blessings. Amen.

I love this. Steve is out in the field til next week and I washed the last of his old laundry yesterday. As I was folding all of his socks I was grumbling to myself because really? How does the man manage to wear so many pairs of socks in such a short amount of time? But having him here and washing 47,953 pairs of his socks is SO much better than having him gone. :)
So beautifully put. And now, I'm going to go scrub the bathroom and sweep the floor and make dinner. Cheerfully. :D
LOL! I think my husband has 22 pairs of socks for every pair I own. It's hilarious but when I play Sock Mah Johg it's kinda fun, anyway, right? :-D.
Amen :).
I should learn to appreciate these things more , just grumbling this am about all of the above :)
I need this. In the laundry room, over the stove, by the dishwasher (!), in the broom closet and in the bathroom. Thank you for putting things in perspective.
Thank you, Karen :)! I need the reminder often!

Easier said than done, Mary! But love can (and does) make it all possible, right? :)
