Love is...
... when you're at the end of a long, hard day and you're on the verge of tears because nothing seemed to go right, the children were especially difficult, (and you weren't such a sweet rose yourself), and you can't wait until your husband gets home from work so you can tell him all about it, not to mention get a little help and relief (but he's running late - who does he think he is, anyway?! He gets to have adult conversations all day!), but then, when he finally walks in the door, he has that downcast, exhausted, dejected, look on his face that says, "I've had a horrible day," and you bite your tongue, ask the Lord for grace, wrap your arms around your husband, and say, "Why don't you put your feet up, Honey. I'll get you something to drink."
I teared up reading this post! Ordinary "stuff" requiring extraordinary love, grace and selflessness! Isn't that what this life is all about? Thanks, Shelly!
