I’ve Been Watching You

I’ve been watching you but lately I’ve noticed some very interesting things about you. My interest peaked at the beginning of this summer when…

You started looking for places for your folks in hopes that they would move back to San Antonio.

You invited your folks to “watch our cat” while we were on vacation in Alaska visiting the kids.

While on vacation you spent hours with grandkids as Wes and Tina moved from one house to another.

You made dozens of texts and phone calls coordinating a sudden but pleasantly surprising decision of your folks to not only move to SA but not even take the return flight to Alabama.

When we flew home you muscled through the first days of the flu helping your folks secure their new place.

You finally took two days to rest when you noticed you had one foot in the grave and another on a banana peel.

Out of bed, you shopped till you dropped getting the folks new furniture.

Having relocated your folks to their new place, it was time to host your brother and visiting friend (you barely had time to wash sheets and make beds).

You reached deep into your pockets for finances and resources to bless everyone around you.

And all the while taking care of me, the husband who is so disabled he can’t even take out the trash. 

I’m beyond impressed. I am amazed. Some men brag saying they “married up.” I married an “Omnidirectional” woman with no limits. I’m proud of you and I’m sure Jesus is proud of you, becoming just like Him.
