Jamie is so good about doing small things around the house, like fixing me a glass of water while I'm nursing, or changing a diaper, or wrestling with the kids, or taking the trash out, or loading the dishwasher, or starting laundry... I'm so thankful for hubbys that do the small things!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14817882710228513104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8206349614470114098.post-58130296331553508502011-02-02T16:55:04.242-05:002011-02-02T16:55:04.242-05:00I love this post.

I appreciate the reminder that I should make him more aware that I appreciate what he does for our family.carolinamom3https://www.blogger.com/profile/05275189568050895190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8206349614470114098.post-8179304736940104632011-02-02T11:59:11.311-05:002011-02-02T11:59:11.311-05:00I would have to agree Larissa, we often overlook t...I would have to agree Larissa, we often overlook the small things but they are so very important. I suppose with the events of this past year Ernie and I have had more time to concentrate on the small things and not take them for granted. I appreciate so much how he takes the time to express his gratitude to me for anything I do for him. I love how he makes ready my side of the bed with the covers turned down, since he usually lies down before me. I love that he knew how much I wanted to spend time with Leah before she became a Mommy and made a way for that to happen. I could go on and on. You are right, it's worth it not to miss the small things when we express our gratitude for the big things.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10624367358276749264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8206349614470114098.post-47042285404574846592011-02-02T09:37:54.369-05:002011-02-02T09:37:54.369-05:00Your post is very insightful.

Simple things like putting on foot lotion, socks and shoes or helping me with long pants. Things I did for 58 years without ever thinking about them, but I can't do now. I am so appreciative of her sacrificial service! It is these small things in life that she makes my living so much better. So often we forget the little things like "thank you", or "I love you", or a unsolicited hug. They are so important. Thanks again for reminding us not to forget all the small things.Big EZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281744394414781819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8206349614470114098.post-55947838244766543772011-02-02T07:31:13.221-05:002011-02-02T07:31:13.221-05:00I know exactly what you mean I love all the small ...I know exactly what you mean I love all the small things Tommy does to either help me or just show his love for me! I love when he knows he has to get up early anyway, he will let me sleep in and he will take Chase to school! or like how this month everyday leading up to Valentine's day he always leaves little chocolates with a note laying around for Chase and I to find in the mornings! I could go on and on! You are so right, we can't take those small things for granted! Great Post!The Worthey Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01136335569240005968noreply@blogger.com
