If you are wondering how to love someone more, be it your spouse, family member, or coworker, try serving them. Finding ways to serve my husband in creative ways is one of my favorite things to do, and the results are even more rewarding.
My husbandry has PT (physical training) every morning with either his squad or platoon, so at 5:30am the alarm goes off, and he is out the door by 6. It doesn't really phase me however, because growing up I went to skating practice at 5 or 6am regularly. Well, on some mornings he drops me off at the gym on his way to PT, other days I go running on my own while he is gone, and some days I am just way to tired to do anything but stay right where I am in our warm bed!
Well, this morning I planned on going to the rink for the morning freestyle session to skate, but that meant I had to leave the house by 7:30, which meant I wouldn't see Marshall when returned from PT. It also meant that I wouldn't be there to make him the breakfast of champions which just happens to be 2 eggs, 2 bacon slices, homemade toast w/jam, and milk.
But it's a good thing I love my husband SO much, because I made it for him before i left, put it on a plate with a lid on top (my efforts to keep it warm) and left it on the stove.
What's even more wonderful, is that when I got home from the rink, this is what I found:
And when he got home for lunch, he told me how much it meant to him to have breakfast already made for him. THAT comment made me feel like I was the most important person in his life.
He is SO good to me! Our relationship reminds me of the words of Paul in the New Testament, "Charity never faileth" (1 Corinthians 13:8). Every time I do something for my husband, I love him even more!
I can't even imagine how much I will love him in 50 years! Wow, that's a crazy thought.
So go make breakfast for someone. You never know how good you will feel until you try :-).

ReplyDeleteI like to think so too!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to look back. After 8 1/2 years I look back on that first year and I'm like pish, I thought I loved him THEN, I had NO IDEA how much I loved him. 8 1/2 years...we haven't even gotten started on Eternity yet. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're so right! I love how i love him more each day! It's such a blessing!
