Today I was a wife and mother.
My husband was sick, so he stayed home from work. All day. This is very unusual for him, not just to take a sick day, but also to avoid going over to church or even speaking on the phone with anyone.
Now, I won't get a wife of the year award or anything... but I did make sure to ask him if he needed anything and offered to help him.
Then, when my son got home from school, I made sure to focus on his needs. In this case, it was taking him shopping. He needed new jeans and sneakers. We found some jeans, but no sneakers. We will look again another day. While shopping for clothing, he spotted a spring-time suit. My son has an affinity for dressing up for church. He loves dressing up so much, that he will occasionally dress up and ask us to take him somewhere... it's his way of fishing or complements. And, I have to admit, I'm a sucker for a guy in a suit and tie, so of course I bought it for him. What do you think, is he dapper or what?

We also bought some potting soil and a new pot. He recently cloned one of my houseplants and the roots are finally long enough to propagate a new plant. After we returned from the store I had to help him pot the plant. He then decided that his room was not a safe place for the baby plant, so he cleared a spot on the mantel for it instead (smart kid!).
He then spent the rest of the evening modeling his new clothes and checking on his dad. Sometimes he is such a good kid I have to wonder where he gets it from. Now, I should get off-line and check on the patient.
Today, I am blessed. Praising God for a wonderful family.
