Instead I am trying to feel better so this afternoon I can convince him to get me out of the house and to coffee. If I do that, then I can sneak a moment and buy him what I had planned, some chocolate raspberry Godiva treat. I don't do the raspberry things, even Godiva, so he rarely gets them (since we tend to buy a treat to share). So I thought that getting him his very own chocolate treat for him to not share would be great!

I have been so grateful for him these past couple of days. He's rubbed my feet when my entire body hurt so much I couldn't move. He finished our big dinner the other night (running up and down 2 flights of stairs or calling from his cell to get directions). He made me coffee last night because I wanted some and was convinced the hot drink would help. He has prayed over me to ask that I feel better soon. And he constantly gets up to re-wet my cool washcloth, even at 4 a.m. Perhaps this is God's way of showing me what a wonderful man I do have? Okay, God, I get it, now can I please start feeling better?
I think that would be a great thing to get for G! I hope it works out.
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better soon! And I love that your perspective on the sickness is that God was helping you see what a good man you have in G. Sometimes it takes a bad time for one partner to bring out the best in the other. Whenever I am sick or stressed my husband steps up like that, it's such a good reminder to me of what a wonderful person I am married to.
Aww, feel better soon. What a nice hubby you have! I think the chocolate is perfect!!!

I've got the crud too and it's a nightmare isn't it? I feel useless. I'm really enjoying your love dare posts a lot and I think it's a great learning opportunity here. Minor changes in our own attitudes reap rewards you don't even imagine.
ReplyDeleteI hope it works out.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon! Look after yourself! (and let G look after you too!)

Okay, so I read back a ways and want to say that I am praying for you. I haven't read Love Dare, but I hear it's intense. Is G reading it too? I just read For Women Only and feel it was so very insightful and helpful in understanding my husband better. It was also a very quick and easy read, so that was hugely helpful too. I want him to read For Men Only. I can't recommend it bc I haven't read it, but it's by the same author and her husband, and I think he'd enjoy it, as would I ;-) Just another avenue to explore. It sounds like you have an amazing attitude... And that you are being tested with sickness and such. Hang in there. Seriously, I hope you are feeling encouraged. I'm sending prayers and positive vibes and hope you are feeling wrapped up in support.
