Yesterday I had an appointment, so I was by myself for a few hours - a rather rare occurrence for me these days. I came home to the news that our adoption is being drawn out. I was worried to say the least. And when I walked in the house, it was clean, mopped, swept, dishes done, ect. What a wonderful feeling to know that you have a team-mate in this life who is willing to do everything for you to make your life easier. I am thankful for my husband. We are about two weeks from our four year anniversary. And I can honestly say that God gave me a wonderful mate - someone who has stood by some of the most difficult trials of my life. I am thankful for him!
Last night, we were watching SuperNanny - a favorite in this early parenting time for us - and she made the comment that each parent had obstacles to overcome in their parenting styles, but it was all made easier when both parents were on the same page. I have to agree. I know that each person brings their own life experiences to the parenting table, and each person has their own weaknesses. But I have seen that working together does strengthen those weaknesses on both sides.
During this time in our lives that feels quite uncertain, I am glad for someone to walk through this time with. I am glad that God gave me a partner. I think often of those who have to be single parents. I applaud them. Parenting is the hardest job I have ever had (and the most rewarding). I appreciate my husband being a stable source of confidence and comfort for me!
