I once saw a quote that said "the years are short but the days are long" and I find this to be very true. I cannot believe it has been 73 days since I began this blog. The one thing I have come to recognize is that if we do not choose to use the time the Lord has given us wisely, it will surely pass us by and any dreams we had will be just that, dreams we had.
My husband is a very hard working man and I am very proud of all that he has accomplished. There was a time that he loved his work and the rush of the challenges he faced every day. I think it really used to provide him a natural lift of his spirits on a daily bases. However, over the past few years he has experienced one trial and tribulation after another. So much so that he really does not love his work like he used to. But today I realized all the craziness of his business is finally having a positive side to it.
Today my husband did something he has been saying he would do for quite some time; hire somebody else to do the work; and not just do the work but lead the project. He came home and asked if we could manage having someone else take care of renovating one of the properties we just purchased because he really want to enjoy the summer and not give up all his time to the business. I thought, Hallelujah! Finally, finally he is really going to change how he use his time and take more time for himself and us.
Because of this I am honoring my husband today and for the rest of the year when possible with the gift of time by making it possible to hire someone to take care of this new property. What is interesting about this is that was the plan from the beginning. I am honoring him with the gift of time while at the same time providing employment for some one else. I just love it when things work out as a win/win across the board. Everybody wins in this scenario.
Wives of the world in what ways can you honor your husband with the gift of time? Is there something you can do to afford your hard working husband time to enjoy life just a little bit more? If he's able to enjoy life just a little more, so will you because he will be spending some of that time with you. Please share your stories with us; we would love to hear from you.
Blessings,
Rochelle
