New Perspective

For the last week I have commited myself to reading every morning from F. Enzio Busche's book "Yearning for the Living God." I needed a change in my life that included diet and exercise and a change within. Sometimes I find scriptures daunting to read so I decided to start with books that should uplift me.  I saw my first perspective change today, I had noticed that my days have been happier since starting but this was different, I told myself not to look at what my husband didn't do but what he had done this week.  I was finishing the laundry (that I asked him to start last night for me in the morning) and was starting to get annoyed that he didn't pick up some of the clothes that were laying around the house. Well I didn't ask him to do that I thought so I should be happy he remembered to put in a load for me. And you know what this thought was right, Pete has a lot to do at work right now and with his calling and here he is trying to help me a little around the house.  He does the dishes and it may not be the same night which I would prefer and he always forgets to clean the drain trap and it starts to stink but hey most husbands don't even do the dishes and I should be thankful that he does.  Also on Tuesday he cleaned up and reorganized Justin's toys in the living room which were starting to overwhelm furniture and walking space and then had to work until midnight that night. Every morning he feeds and plays with Justin before he goes to work and lets me sleep until he leaves (I am trying to actually get up during that time but it hasn't happened yet so maybe in the next couple of weeks I will do better).  I am thankful for this change sometimes when I am reading the book I don't want to stop because he tells stories about members and himself that bring such a sweet feeling into my heart and I don't want it to leave. Of course not every story does but so far each morning there is at least one if not more that starts my day off right. So thank you Peter for all you do for me I hope this lesson is branded in my heart so that I can always look at what you do well and not hold on to what you missed.
