SIDE NOTE - I think he surely has the hardest job out of the two of us since I'm not always the easiest to submit - *insert sheepish grin*
So for us, this idea makes some of our duties/division of labor look 'different' - meaning some may view our break-down as 'old-fashioned' - "you mean you don't plan on working out of the home?!" - add shock/dismay of some upon hearing I like staying home w/my kids, lol!
Though we have some divide in how we conquer our household (i.e. I've never mowed our lawn!), our 'roles' are best suited to our gifts/strengths as well as flexible. I have no problem helping to move heavy items, carry a load of materials, do some hardcore yard work. And S-Money$ has no problem changing a dirty diaper, taking our Spillz out shopping (shopping w/teenage girls takes a certain kind of parental temperament. . . trust me!), doing dishes/other chores, helping me bake.
Ephesians 5:25
And you husbands must love your wives with the same love Christ showed the church. He gave up his life for her.
We serve out of love and a majority of the time when I need him, S-Money$ is more than willing to 'give up his life' and put aside his interests in an effort to meet mine, or the kids. That takes a level of love, commitment and maturity from someone. Which is why I want to begin dedicating a monthly post for my dear hubby capturing him in action as he conquers the chaos of The Brood, the shenanigans in our house and models what a loving, biblical husband may look like!
So, without further ado. . . . here is the S-Money$ Pic of the Month for January!
I was afraid we'd find something growing in here but S-Money$ braved the duty of cleaning the B-Fam Party Van! |
So awesome that you can be a stay-at-home mom. That takes real commitment and work. I was blessed with being able to stay at home for 15 years. I like you idea for a blog post. :)
