Luckily today was my day off of work and I got to visit Jason at work.
I do know that every time that I do come to visit him at work in his tractor, HE LOVES IT!!
Maybe it's because I bring fresh and warm food, or maybe it's just the company that I give him-instead of him just talking to himself, or maybe it's just me being there. Whatever it may be, I sure do love his face every time I get out of the car to get into his tractor AND I love seeing his face when I have to leave; saying "I guess you'll have to go" or "I wish you can stay here all day with me" because he still wants me around.
"Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love"-Ephesians 4:2
This paragraph got me good!!...
"So test yourself. How long is your fuse? How quickly do you adopt a bad attitude? Are you willing to wait with a smile? Can your spouse count on having a patient wife or husband to deal with? Can she know that locking her keys in the car will be met by your calm understanding rather than a demeaning lecture that makes her feel childish? Can he know that being found watching a football game won't automatically invite a loud-mouthed laundry list of better ways he should be spending his time?"
First of all;
I didn't have to do much for this love dare. I don't have a problem with it. Except with patience on knowing things. Knowing about a gift, knowing about a secret that he wants to say but I have to wait till he gets home, wait to know what is in a package that we got earlier in the morning and I had to wait for Jason to get home for us to open it...
(this happened a week ago) For me not opening it, Jason has something up his sleeve for when we go on our cruise...more patience and more waiting...GREAT!!
Second, I know that my husband has a hard time with lecturing me and I do sometimes feel like a child whenever he does so. But most of the time I just know that he just loves to talk. He is in communications for school, it's his major, it's what he does. I do remind him that he does it and sometimes he continues it.
On Sunday (since I read this Saturday evening) after a long day and when we were going home from his parents house; Jason had the tone that he was going to lecture me. I wanted to be patient about just letting him just talk, but I also wanted him to be patient on work on this day more than me and I gave him one sentence to tell me what he needed to say. He said it and we were both happy....
Except he wanted to say a bit more...but I hushed him, because I knew JUST what he was saying.
Because...heck I can literally read his mind now. I've done it possibly more than 20 times since we've been married.
Jason says more than I want to hear. Because the things that he says, I already know. He says it, so he can let me know what I can work on. I know that telling him to give me one sentence helps both of us. It helps him to be more patient with me and it helps me to learn from his "lecturing"
