Today I am honoring my husband with empathy. Just about every day of the week he gets up and leaves the house pretty early in the morning and gets home close to sun down each evening. My husband prefers to spend time at home alone in front of the TV; however his work requires him to be in the public all day. If any of you work in the public you know how people can be. He has some good tenants but he also has some challenges tenants as well as the issues he has to deal with on a regular basis with Baltimore City, vendors, his workers and all other types of people he has to deal with. Sometimes they just wear him down.
Today I am honoring my husband with empathy. Mainly because my heart goes out to him because of all the crap he has to deal with on a daily basis. He sometimes says to me I have no idea what he has to face each day and actually he is correct, I do not and cannot imagine the challenges he face as a 6'7" African American man with dreads in his hair. I know that sometimes at the gate he is judged by his appearance rather than his character or what's in his heart. I empathize with him today in the hopes that it will lift the load just a little as he prepares to face the day tomorrow.
Wives of the world in what ways do you empathize with your husband's and the things they have to face each day? In today's economic times it wears very heavy on a man's heart to make sure he is taking care of his family and typically those on the outside really don't care. They just want what they want and take, take; take from our spouses leaving very little energy for them to bring home. Our presence can make all the difference in the world when they arrive home. So today, honor your husband with some empathy. Don't nag him about what he has not done around the house or the promise he may have broken about something that needed to be repaired. Charge it to his head and not his heart, for his heart is with you so be that source of comfort for him when he comes home from a rough day's work. Please share your stories with us on how you can or do honor your husband with empathy.
Blessings,
Rochelle
