That made me think...
On Sunday our pastor's sermon was geared towards the men in our congregation, I believe the title was "Godly Men". I thought I would sit back and listen to all the ways my husband was biblacally called to care for me. Than I heard Pastor Evan say "how do you react when you are treated like a servant?" I have to admit that is one thing I have a major problem with. I began to think about the numbers of times I have said to my kids, "what do you think I am, your personal maid?" I pricked-up my ears and took in the lesson that God had for me in this weeks sermon. I need to be acting like a servant, to selflessly give to my family. To remember God gave them to me. To be thankful and joyful in my role as help-mate, mother, teacher. ALWAYS! I thank the Lord for the reminder and the push. Now the real work sets in as I make the effort to ask God daily to remind me and strengthen me on this next step.

I have had that same conviction, Jenna. I am always struggling with the whole "personal maid" thing and feeling like I do it all without any thank you from the family. Melody and I had a conversation recently about being a willing servant. It is a hard thing to be. We are such a selfish bunch!
It's neat to think that even though Pastor Evan was mostly talking to our men, that some of us women were listening and receiving too!
sue, thanks! it always seems a lighter load to bear when we are not the only ones;)
I love communicating with you all week long like this! It feels like we are staying in touch even if we don't see each other in person! Hope you are having a good one.
i was just thinking the same:)
