Saturday I had a speaking engagement and what has become a routine is that my husband if he is home helps load the car with the needed items and boxes of books. He turns on the car, gets the air and music running, fixes me some ice water for my trip. This particular day was no different. I took his car and was sitting in the driver’s seat while he leaned in the window and smiled at me. He is so special I thought. As I drove off I saw a piece of folded yellow tablet paper in the passenger seat. And I thought “ahh, how sweet of my husband, he wrote me a love note for my special event.” I had all kinds of sweetness flowing through my thoughts. When I opened the piece of paper I was disappointed. It was no love note at all…..or was it…..?
It was an old grocery list….bread….milk…. eggs….apples…. In my disappointment I threw the paper on the floor. Immediately the Lord rebuked me sternly.
“All the things he does for you including the countless times he goes to the grocery store on his way home from work screams love for you!” The Lord told me. I was humbled….
So ladies, love your husbands! Thank them, Thank God for them and look at your grocery list in a whole new way!
