Day 17- playing ketchup...again!

First, if you don't get the ketchup reference, here you go: CLICK ME.

It's Monday, and I confess that I didn't blog over the weekend. I am going to recap each day on its respective page beginning with Day 17- Saturday.

Saturday my husband had to work and I was alone with the kids all morning. Then, he came home from work and we took them to the playground. It was fantastic. Sitting there watching my husband play ball with my son while I sat with our baby (Who just started crawling Friday!!) felt perfect. It felt like being alive. I didn't read anything that day...but a funny thing happened that night when we had date night.

My husband and I were on our way to eat when we started talking about the article he sent me two days ago. Where I had taken it as something he wanted me to read and relate it back to myself, he told me that he really wanted me to read it so I could see that I am not the woman that has to do chores around the house! He was tooting his own horn.

My husband has a job where he gets home every day a little afternoon. He takes the opportunity to sweep, change litter boxes, put up clothes, and tidy up while he is home alone-not to say he doesn't work in time for naps and Sportscenter. I have always appreciated it, but apparently he wanted to remind me that he is a keeper :)

I found it extremely entertaining that he and I both took the same article and spun it so that it related to us and our cause. (Side note: Isn't that what people do with the Bible all of the time?) This is the same lesson I have previously discussed in that people react according to them and what is going on in their lives.

In closing, life was good on Saturday and I truly felt appreciative and fulfilled. Additionally, my conversation with my husband reminded me of perspective. Life was good.

--God, Thank you for days like Saturday. I apologize for not sitting down and blogging as promised during Lent, but I did take time and reflect that day. I am so thankful for my gifts in life: Chuck, Nixon, & Laney. They are my everything and I owe it all to you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Amen.
