I had to laugh the other day when I emptied out my purse. I found a half package of Ritz crackers, a half bottle of Diet Pepsi, a lime, a pair of shorts, color crayons, a spelling test, band aids, and so much more. How do we manage to accumulate so much stuff?
It's that mom thing in us. We make certain we are prepared for every need our children might have while we are out and about. We take care of them by anticipating what they will need, taking along things that will make them happy in a pinch, make them smile instead of cry, and tide them over. We want them to know they are loved and cared for and the things we pack are meant to show that in a small way.
So, what are the small things that I do during my day to let my husband know that I am thinking of him, anticipating his needs, keeping something on hand that will bring a smile to his face after a long day, and letting him feel loved and cared for.
As I thought of the project for this week "Heart vs. Stomach" a couple of things came to mind. First off "finally, something that might be a little easier to accomplish", then I thought about how the idea is not just to bring it home from the store and plop it in front of him, but to wait and bring it out at just the right time when it will meet the purpose that it was intended for. Just like all of those things in my purse. They are there for just the right time. Only then do they really show how much I truly love and care for my precious children.
Okay, maybe not everything in my purse has a purpose. I'm not even sure how some of those things even got there. A lime?
