I am so blessed!

I am sitting here in my kitchen with my slippers on my feet. I have just eaten my egg mcmuffin and drank my tea with honey. My tummy is full. I have fed my older children and my dear husband. They are on their way to piano lessons. My youngest is still in bed. (I am letting her sleep in.) I am stealing a small moment to myself and I am loving every minute of it.  

I have been studying the book "Created to be His Help Meet". I have just learned what type of husband I am married to. I am blessed to be married to a cross between a Visionary and Steady Man. It is so very interesting and yet very challenging. My husband is such a blessing. I sometimes have a tendancy to look at the negative rather than the positive. I will give you a good example of how he blessed me today.

First of all he decided to take today off. Surprise! I get to spend the day with him. We slept in TOGETHER for the first time in a really long time. I had forgotten to take my children to piano lessons today because it is considered a holiday. (I actually assumed we didn't have them.) Anyway, the piano teacher called me this morning to ask me to come in later with the kids. When I got off the phone I asked my dear husband, Matt, if he would take the kids so that I could stay at home and do some house work. He declined, politely, and indicated that he wanted to stay at home. Well, I did not want to go because I am the one who always takes the kids and I did not want to deal with the piano teacher. (Sad reason, huh?)  Plus, I thought since my husband is the "Music" pastor at church and he is the musician in the family he would like the opportunity to share this with the kids for once.

I do admit that I threw a bit of attitude his way. He told me, finally, after I was "throwing" laundry into the washer and "stomping" around a bit, that he would take the kids to piano lessons. I felt bad that I caused him to make that decision because of my attitude. Well, I changed my attitude real quick and I made him breakfast and a cup of tea to go. He left with a smile on his face. I am pleased about that.

Now, back to the book. I have learned a little bit about the way that he thinks and the way that I can be a blessing to him. I feel bad about my behavior and hope that I can catch it next time, so as to avoid this situation in the future. In the mean time, I am going to get as many things done as possible, before he returns home. So I must go now to be a blessing to my dear husband!
