His Wife has Changed

So, Here Hubs and I are, creeping up on 17 years of marraige. i am finding a change of heart taking place in the very depth of me...a change i like.

Last Friday i asked myself a question while answering phones for the Chamber of Commerace here in a sleepy town of 2640. i asked myself the question that changed my thinking and spun my marraige on its head.

How Can I,

Be The Wife, That Makes

My Husband

Successful?

O.k. Many of you Bible Thumpers are Screaming from your Mountain tops of Laundry...... Proverbs 31... Read Proverbs 31 its all in there!!! !!!!(i know.. i can hear you yelling from here.)

Remember back, those of you who shared wedding vows- the part where it says to Honor and Cherish? amoungst those other fine things? well i am learning a new kind of Honor.

Hubs is a People Person i mean more than the average People person... Hubs Collects Friendships like i Collect books... anyone who has met him and spent any time with him would be able to tell you this... he draws breath of life from people.. as much as i do from quiet solitude.... so how in the heck do the two worlds meet... or should i say, at times collide? well this is the part i am getting to.... Hubs is a Civic minded, Community related, Family loving, Friendly heart touching, God loving MAN.

If i were to respond to him in a way that blesses him i would touch any of the above mentioned areas... the balance of this is that I need to do this with a desire and not a "have to" frame of mind... so where hubs in on the Chamber Board, I volunteer to help out on fridays. something that i truely love... telling people what to see for all the points of intrest around the area...c'mon i love it... Going down on Wednesdays for Lunch at the Senior Center where i get to sit back and here history being spoken about by the lives and hearts that lived it... the 70-80-90 and yes Centurians who lunch there just want to be heard.. and my heart and imagination can't wait to be there with them... all the little things i do in town are a reflection on my Hubs. i enjoy showing him Honor by speaking well of his name... not for his sake... but also because i get the benefit of being Cherished by a Man that deeply loves me and wants to honor me too....... hence Olivia June bug my 73 Vdub...
