But It's SO Annoying!

#3

Love is...

... when you almost trip over your husband's shoes because they are in the middle of the floor... again, and he didn't clean up the coffee that spilled on the counter... again, and his dirty clothes are right next to the hamper... again, and all of this is piling on top of other things you're irritated about, so you feel like you're going to blow your top, but instead of nagging him about it, you pray for grace to remember that you do things that bother him, too (and isn't he just a little more gracious about it than you are?), and you thank God for all the wonderful, selfless things he does do, like work hard all. day. long., and help with the kids, and take out the trash, and mow the lawn, and auto maintenance... and then you surprise him by making his favorite supper, "Just because."
