Operation Home Alone- Reflections

So, I've been on my own for almost a week now. Rebekah and the girls went to visit Mimi and Papa in Texas. I still have two more weeks by myself and as this past week has gone on, I've found several new reasons to appreciate all that Rebekah does at home. Of course there are countless reasons to be thankful for her, but here are a few that have stood out to me just these past few days: 

1. She's been gone 5 days and I've lost 3 lbs. If this days:weight ratio continues, I will have lost 10 pounds by the time she comes home. 

2. I don't know what does and does not go in the dishwasher. 

3. I don't have anyone to blame for not hanging the towels back over the shower rod. 

4. Check pantry. Check Refrigerator. Lower standards. Repeat.

5. No one to defer decisions to. It's kind of hard to say, "I don't care. Whatever you want to eat/watch/do." to yourself.

6. I hate that the fan is running because it's cold, but after seven years, I can't sleep without it.

 

I say all that to say this: Scripture says that it is not good for man to be alone and I am testimony to that. Take time to appreciate all the little things that your spouse does that go unnoticed. I miss my girls and I'm ready for them to come home.
