An About Face

Brett is on another camp out tonight and I have to admit, although I probably shouldn't, but I was happy to see him head out. I guess it has been one of those days. While I looked forward to him leaving so I could have a break, I quickly realized how much I needed to change.

I took the kids to eat tonight so I didn't have to make dinner and as while were standing in line I was observing the people around me. There was a man behind us and several people in front of us. A woman quite a bit ahead of us spoke over the top of us (to the man behind us). She said, "There wasn't anyone in line when I got here so I didn't order your food." I looked back and he kind of shrugged his shoulders. We went about our business and ate our dinner. Just before we were done eating I looked over and noticed this couple that had their previous exchange in line. To my surprise the woman stood up and said, "I'm done eating so I'm going." Hmmm... These two were MARRIED!!!

I immediately felt horrible for being glad to have a break for the evening. I can't imagine meeting my husband at a place to eat, ordering without him, and then leaving after I was done eating. I'm grateful for Brett. He works hard for our family. He magnifies his calling and I know that we are in his best interests. He would never think of doing any of the things that I mentioned above. So, here's to an about face for me. It's crazy sometimes that it takes something so small to help us realize what we really have.
