This is a wonderful time of year, but it is an Oh-SO-busy time as well. There are many things I'd like to update you on at length, but my bed is calling me. This will be brief. :)
When Matt and I were first married, I began a routine of asking him (right before bed as we laid in the dark) for one good thing from the day. He would hear me ask, "One good thing?" Following his response, I'd offer my own.
For me it was an exercise in gratitude; an opportunity to share with one another something good. That one thing didn't have to be big, just any old thing that he or I considered good. A little success. A little encouragement. A simple win. A pleasant moment.
So, tonight I'll give you one good thing from my day right before I drift off to sleep: Today, I caught up on ironing Matt's shirts.
An ordinary task for sure, a task I particularly dislike, one that's remained incomplete too long, but it's my one good thing today because I have a husband whose shirts need ironing. God shows me His blessings even in the mundane and ordinary things of everyday life.
