I had a wonderful anniversary yesterday. It is simply amazing to get to spend your life with your best friend. I am exceedingly glad to have been able to spend the day together rather than in thought from a ship and an apartment. Hubby worked much of the day, but we had a lovely meal at the Olive Garden last night and then a cup of Dunkin' Donuts coffee while we walked around a local park. (I did find the will power to refuse a DD donut - though they are my favorite) Hubby found just the sweetest anniversary card in the "Kim Anderson" style of black and white children with a color accent here and there. It said "Just so you know, I only plan to tag along until about the end of time or so." Two years ago, I had found a similar card as he was completing his final deployment. It read "Now and always ... the only two times I want to be with you."
Back to thinking about true charity in the home. Love is not egotistical or self-centered. One who truly loves will not boast on their abilities or push their ideas as the best. A loving woman seeks to lift Christ up first and then to see the promotion of those that she loves. Love does not seek to impress others or draw attention to her own actions. A wife, mother, or daughter does not seek acknowledgement for their acts of love, for they view their activity as "normal." How much of your daily conversation is about self? Are you content to serve "unnoticed" in the home and promote the welfare of others in the home? This may be a good test of the quality of your love.
