You may think this is stupid or crazy, but I was looking at this stack of folded laundry sitting there on my sofa, and I felt an overwhelming sense of thankfulness. My hubby folded those towels, and did the laundry as well. He also cooked our dinner, helped the AC repairman put our burned up air conditioning unit back together again,

| Yes, that is the wiring in our central air unit. Praise the Lord...the fire went no further than this... |
and kept things running in our house this week while we had one event after another. While the AC was non- functional during our 90+ degree early summer, sultry, 4 very humid days, he took care of the house, in the heat, and cleaned up the mess after the local handyman tiled our guest bathroom, in the midst of one whole afternoon/evening of no electricity as well! It's been one of those weeks. And we have friends arriving this weekend for an overnight visit...so things have to get ship-shape in a hurry. Of course, I've been sitting in my nice air-conditioned office while my retired hubby has been taking care of all this stuff...and even though I've complained about the heat and inconvenience of all the mess plenty, at least I could escape it every day for a while...and he couldn't.
So, I want to say thank you to my sweet hubby tonight...for his continual work to keep things running smoothly in the midst of chaos...for his patience in becoming a "house hubby" even though he'd rather have been able to keep working these past few years instead of being retired early by an unexpected job cut.

Oh, have I told you that he started his own website/blog recently? He's learning all about how to do this, teaching himself as he goes along. You might enjoy reading it...he doesn't always write the posts, but gathers some interesting and encouraging stories to share with you. Check it out...and perhaps you'll understand why I'm so thankful for this hubby. He's pretty wonderful! Click here for the link to Simposious.com
There's lots more good stuff I could say about him, but this will do for now.
I've got to get some sleep...it's been a long, hot, tiring week...and I'm exhausted after writing about all this work my hubby's done for me this week... Yes, I thank the Lord for the blessing of godly, good, (and handsome) hubby. I am blessed, and I know it.
Oh, one more thing...here's the favorite verses my hubby wanted me to share with you tonight:
"Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses,
let us lay aside every weight,
and the sin which so easily ensnares us,
and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith,
who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross,
despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
Hebrews 12:1-2
Good thoughts to ponder as we settle down for the night, don't you agree? Good Night Friends.
P.S. Oh, and by the way: Happy Father's Day to my hubby! He is the marvelous father of three magnificent sons and a grandpa to one amazing grandson, and a father in law to one outstanding daughter in law! We all love you!!!!!
