A Biblical wife I am striving to be...don't laugh! I am serious. I have been lax but now I am back on track. Today I decided to fix my husband breakfast as opposed to cereal or he making me breakfast. I decide to fix bacon for him. I have long ago banned bacon from my house. One,I don't eat pork, except today I ate bacon...it tasted good but didn't settle well. Two, I hate the grease fog, and smell of bacon in my house. BUT today it was going to be about his desire and I surprised him and made bacon. I still hate the smell and the mess! However, breakfast wasn't about me.
I would think it would be easier to concentrate more on being a Biblical...submissive, honoring, and respectful...wife with my children grown and mostly out of the house, NOT. At least, not for me. The distraction of kids has nothing to do with it. It has to do with my laziness, my selfishness, and my thinking that my husband don't care how I am. WRONG! He spoils me and treats me like a Queen but he wouldn't do it without my appreciation and efforts to do good by him. So therefore the quest begins again to fill my head with Biblical Femininity and Womanhood. I get on this kick every few months and then I die out and that is why DAILY study and Bible reading is good for me. It keeps things fresh and interesting.
As for the bacon I used to honor my husband's desires, well? I don't think I'll do that again soon. I will make a point to go out for eggs and bacon with my hubby on a morning date. I tell you, my friends, this is hard for me...I want it to be about me and its NOT..WAH! No excuses though for real... I AM WOMAN and I will aim for Godly.
Now, that I have said that I am on my way to shop with a friend for her bridesmaid dress. Kevin is on his own for lunch, BUT he has good deli meat, cheeses and rolls to assemble for lunch. I will get this down pat. Any challengers???

I love to cook for Greg as well, Anna. It makes me feel like I'm doing something just for him. Most of the time it goes unnoticed or maybe an offhand comment like "thanks"...said halfheartedly and I think well, buddy, you've ate your last home cooked meal! After all, I've worked all day too!lol..then I have to say to myself....not about you Ree!! I do this for HIM! It is hard, but I too want to be a more submissive, godly wife. Pray for me Anna! Love you!
I for one love bacon and it's smell! To me, nothing says breakfast like the smell of bacon and coffee.
Seriously, I used to love to cook. And over the years he's "learned" that showing his appreciation gets him more homecooked stuff. It really is a two way street. We work on our attitudes and our actions and they will follow... eventually. I'm a firm believer that a man on a pedastal doesn't usually want to come down... if you know what I mean.
