My beautiful bride is off for a 3.5 week trip to her native India.It has been quite some time since she has been home, and is anxiously looking forward to seeing family, and friends.
We only wish we could have gone with her, but finances and ministry duties would have never afforded the required time. Mizoram, her destination in North East India, is an amazing place. We have long considered retiring there, and perhaps someday will.
On a completely selfish note, I stood in the airport with three teary-eyed children who fear they will starve to death in their mother's absence (hint: send food). 3.5 weeks as "Mr. Mom". Keep in mind I am the kind of guy who doesn't pay bills, isn't exactly sure where we actually bank, have no idea who our utility providers are, and for the life of me can't figure out why the washing machine has two knobs.
Previously, my clothes just keep mysteriously appearing clean & hung in my closet. My keys somehow found their way out of my pants pockets and onto my dresser top, and my shoes polished themselves.
My theory is, that despite my wife's absence, these things will continue to occur. Well...don't blame a guy for being hopeful!
We are praying for your wife (and your kids!) while she is travelling. Can't help with the meals or laundry, but I could certainly help you with the banking part!
ReplyDeleteGOD will surly bless the kids and Amy, and also bless the Pastor with help from the church body, i myself would love to help with the food part, but my wife reminds me i have to hook up the stove first, working on it, after the roof, good luck and God bless
