Hit The Ground Running
A Busy Start to Twenty Twelve
Small group every other Sunday. Parenting class Monday nights. Piano Saturday morning. Gymnastics Friday nights. The days are just packed. We tore the main floor apart on Saturday cleaning it top to bottom. The girls dusted and did the bathrooms. Kristi and I pulled out the major appliances and gave them a vaccuum, a scrub and a shine. The babies were much too interested for their own good. I paused in a rare moment of silence and reflected on my life; I spend far more time cleaning than I would like to, I thought to myself. I mentioned it to my wife who acknowledged the fact and gave me full credit for the act of service. Some time ago we read a book called the Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman. It's a very interesting look at the way people (not just husbands and wives) express and receive love. I know I've talked about this book before, but the reference to the act of service is an idea out of that book; the fact that I clean the house regularly even though it is not something I would naturally be doing, is not something I necessarily enjoy doing, but is something I choose to do anyway because I know how much she appreciates a clean house — shows my wife that I love her.
