Home, Sweet Home – Making Our House Into a Home

Maybe I’m old school, but yes, I believe in submitting to my husband’s authority.  Not because he’s better than me, not because I’m forced to, but because I want to.  I love my husband with all my heart and I, as his wife, am called to surrender myself.  Of course, he too is to love me as Christ loved the church.  Anyway, as part of submitting to him, it’s my job to take care of him.  Lately, his job has been requiring him to work 10-12 hours per day, six days a week.  Needless to say, when he gets home at 5pm, goes to bed at 9pm and gets up at 4:30am, there’s not a lot of time for extras.   I’ve been going out of my way to make sure he has the things he needs…clean fresh towels, something cold to drink, and the remote control.

The most important thing to me (and him) lately has been dinner.  I’ve been making sure he has dinner ready and on the table by 5pm.  I’m usually home by 4 so it’s not a very difficult task.  I figure that as long as I can feed his belly as soon as he gets home, he has the rest of the evening to do whatever he wants to do.  He doesn’t have to wait around on supper to be ready.  Once a week, usually Mondays, I fix his favorite meal…a kind of Taco bake from a modified Pampered Chef recipe.  The rest of the week, I choose items that are easy for me to cook, but tasty and filling for him.
