As I lay in bed last night this question came to my mind. Yesterday I left the house at 6:30 AM and did not return home till almost 10:30 PM. I hate days like that and am so glad that I don't have many of them but still it happens sometimes.
The night before my long day, I let Kevin know of the preparation that I did so his morning and evening with the kids would go smoothly. He looked at me and said he would be fine. I knew he would, but at the same time, I am the mommy. Would he know to use the butterfly cookie cutter to make her sandwich with??? Would he know to make sure that we always stand and wave to her as the bus drives down the street??? Would he know that Logan likes his cereal in the John Deere bowl??? He may not have known all of this and it doesn't even matter. He did an excellent job!!
I came home to a spotless house. The tree was up and ready for me to decorate the next day. The dishes were done and the kids were sound asleep in bed. What more could I ask for??
I am so thankful for a husband and a daddy who loves his children and doesn't mind taking care of them. He works so hard during the day and then comes home to what could be chaos and puts in a few more hours of making dinner, homework, baths, playing and bedtime with no complaints. I am thankful for him and know that I need to express my thankfulness much more than I do at the current time.
Which leads me back to my original question...What would I do without Him? This question can be taken in two different ways. "He" can refer to...My Christ or my husband. Just as I am thankful for Kevin; I am so grateful for my heavenly Father. He leads me day by day and I am thankful that I can go to Him when ever I have a need.
We have been learning about prayer and the importance of it in our Sunday school class. Once again I have been reminded how important it is to pray. Whenever I find myself weary, tempted or pushed just a bit to far I am learning to go to Him in prayer. Wow!!! It has changed me so much over the past 3 weeks! I am thankful for our Sunday school teacher and how he has brought a much needed reminder to me...Pray without ceasing!!

That was a nice post!
Wow, sounds like you snagged superman as your hubby! :) Seriously though, that's a great partnership you've got going there. I'm so glad that my hubby doesn't think he's "above" doing things around the house and helps me with Chloe when I need him to (especially in the 3rd trimester!). Praise the Lord for our mates!
Thanks Heather for reminding me that wants us to pray without ceasing!
