Anyone who knows me, knows that I love CANDY!
Jeff is the best. For as long as I can remember, whenever I ever have treats around, he NEVER eats the last one. He always saves the last ones for me. I've never asked him to do this, but he always has. I know its a small thing, but it is so him. He is the kind of person who thinks of others before himself in a million small ways.
I was teaching the girls in homeschool this past week a simple idea about the word JOY. If you put JESUS first, OTHERS next and YOURSELF last, you will feel fulfilled and have tons of JOY in your life.
We've been having lots of issues with people in this house leaving messes for others to clean up (oh, ya, "others" would be mostly me). I briefly mentioned that when we do this, we are not thinking of OTHERS (how they must feel to clean up tons of messes they don't make) but putting OURSELVES first. I think it actually stuck. We aren't done with messes, but they have a lot better attitude when I ask them to clean up.
Awe, I know your life is full of joy, it is wonderful to know you!!! Thanks for your example and friendship.
