We are on the journey together

My husband came home a few days ago to tell me he had been convicted about his actions as a husband. We have been listening to preaching on family and marriage our MP3 players. It has really brought some issues to the front for us to work on together or as individuals.

I had a thought as I was sleeping that I had left some clothes in the dryer. It didn't really register as I was sleeping. Bill came in our room this morning and told me that he needed my help. His work shirts were in the dryer and were horribly wrinkled. This is very odd as they usually come out not needing to be ironed, even if they have been there a while. Then to make things worse it wasn't ironing well. They are supposed to be washed in delicate cycle and dried on low. My husband had even tried putting it back into the dryer for a few minutes which usually works, or at least makes things better. They had been washed and dried properly, yet, for some unknown reason they were a wrinkled mess.

Well I ironed his shirt as he explained he had a big meeting today. He is in a new department where big meetings are in person. His prior department they did their meetings on the phone as everyone lived somewhere else...

I felt very bad that he didn't have a clean ironed shirt ready to go and happy that he had just came into the room and calmly asked me to help him instead of coming in mad and ranting... It made things go a lot smoother. It helped also that I was up to get the boys up and running for school.

We had a discussion about the fact we were not acting on the fact we believed we would be moving. We were praying for God to open the door, but, not doing any pre-move things. We have fixed a few minor household things, but, there is a lot of going through and sorting that needs to be done.

This morning was a step in the right direction for us both. I didn't think twice about getting up to help, or get mad. I tend to get mad that I missing those two or three extra minutes of sleep. I am supposed to be getting up as he is leaving anyway. It is all in my attitude toward my husband. I am not showing him love nor am I honoring God when I act that way...
