This is the way I started my Saturday. My sweet husband offered to make me a big breakfast and I decided...yes. I have just recently realized something about myself. I am so quick to jump and serve, to to to take care of everyone's needs that seldom do I allow someone to take care of mine. I resist. It's not that I'm stubborn, it's just how I'm wired. Someone offers to make me something, I jump up and say "I'll do it". I think sometimes I cause frustration to those who love me because it almost comes out defensive and that is not my intent at all. I am going to try really hard as the days go on to allow others to serve me too.
I guess I am just a take charge kind of wife and mom, always putting their needs above my own. I think it made him happy to make me this yummy breakfast. I've never thought about it like that before...so here is to saying yes just a little more. I enjoyed my breakfast very much, he did a fantastic job!
My weekend is going to be full of getting ready for Thanksgiving, baking Chocolate Chip cookies for our happy dancers at parade practice and hair bow making (for the parade).
Outside the sun is shining and it's a lovely day.
Wishing you a great weekend!
What a lovely thing for your husband to do! Looks incredibly yummy - especially that bacon. I'm a bacon kind of girl. lol
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about allowing others to serve me. I've had a hard time with that - especially when I went throught my pain issues. The Lord really grew me during that time. I'm like you - I'm learning it's okay to allow others to take care of me, too.
Have a wonderful day! I'm planning on going to my studio to paint.
Love - Julie
I can relate to this! We are so used to taking care of everyone, that it feels strange to have others wait on us. I think it's a great idea to say "yes" more often:)
