Joy in peeling potatoes…

Today was a pretty normal Saturday for me Steve left for work at 7am and kissed and hugged me goodbye like he always does and then I proceeded to sleep in deliciously late (10:30) Saturdays always feel so decadent when I can sleep in! I heard the heater come on in my sleep and did a little dance in my dreams and snuggled deeper under the covers. I woke up and started doing my wifely chores… Saturday means laundry and since I have all day to cook I always try to make something delicious and time consuming on Saturdays. We eat such quick easy dinners during the week I like Saturday to be a long well thought out slow cooked kind of dinner. Tonight I made delicious stuffed bell peppers and artichokes. (Steve’s new favorite vegetable he had never had one until he met me) Tomorrow we’re having our family over to celebrate Steve’s birthday… He asked for Pulled Pork, Potato Salad and Strawberry Cake with sprinkles… I’m also throwing in Corny corn (canned corn but he likes the way I fix it haha) and some Deviled eggs to make my husband extra happy… Its like a meal of his favorite things! I had to get started on it today of course… I peeled like 12 potatoes standing at my sink singing… It was a joyful time for me… I had spoken to my Aunt for a little while and we reminisced about last year… I was remembering my Grandma and the kind of wife she was the kind of mother she was and how I would be blessed to walk in her footsteps and in even a small way be like her… I took joy thinking of that and peeling potatoes I was thrilled to peel potatoes and serve my husband bless my husband by making him something he only likes when I cook it… while listening to his socks and t-shirts gurgle in the washing machine and singing to the God who put the desire to be a such a wife in my heart… Now its late Saturday night and while the laundry still needs to be put away the pork is in the crock pot the bowl of potato salad is in the fridge and the cake is cooling on the stove Its almost time for me to go cuddle up with that husband of mine and continue to Thank God for that handsome husband and ask again that God would continue to show me His path, show me how to be a Godly wife and Best friend to the husband I love so much… It’s such a joy to serve them both… My Father in heaven and my husband at home!
