Encouraging My Wife

Yesterday, my wife was running on empty. She was drained. And I was going to spend my time encouraging her.  Since I had the day off I was going to encourage her.

I started off in the morning trying to help her in the morning and letting her know how wonderful she is.  I have her some final words of encouragement as she left for work, as that is where she was being discouraged.  Then I did some things I needed to do, and worked on laundry.  I planned dinner, went to the store, bought her a card and a bouquet of flowers.  I was in process of folding laundry when she got home.

She had a rough day at work so a big long hug was in order.  I told her I’m taking her out to lunch, since I knew we could as I was expecting some extra money from some side work.  She had planned on having us do some running, but I told her we should bag it and just recuperate. She needed it.  Off to lunch where we had fattening food and blew our diet, but she needed a treat. I let her know how wonderful she was and we watched really terrible music videos that were playing on one of the TV’s at the restaurant.

Picked up Josiah from school and went home. Back home I told her to go sit down as I had dinner.  So, I made dinner for everyone- my wife and I skipped out as we were full. I not only made dinner but I also made Mac and Cheese for my picky daughter.  Got that all cleaned up and noticed my wife had folded the laundry and was watching TV.  I put away all the laundry and cleaned out some of my dresser drawers.

Then after kids were in bed I had her lay down and gave her a full body massage.  She enjoyed it.

My wife is such a huge encouragement to me, it feels good to give her encouragement back.  Making her day better made me feel better. She means the world to me and I hope I helped her recharge. She deserves to be spoiled and treated from time to time.

She is my inspiration, my helper, and the most incredible person I know. She has strength beyond any physical strength, she has wisdom beyond her years, and she has compassion greater than anyone I’ve met. I value her honesty, her integrity, and her willingness to put up with me.  Yep.  I’m sure I’m not easy to live with at times, but she has never stopped loving me and caring for me, and I value her more than anyone on the planet.
