I am not doing this for acknowledgement or accolades.
(I keep telling myself.)
It's OK if he doesn't notice.
But it's not OK, I want him to notice. I want him to acknowledge all the hard work I've put in. Especially since it's been a while since I've worked this hard.
But that's not OK.
That's not the right attitude, spirit.
That is not the heart of a servant.
I want to be a servant.
I want to serve my God and my husband.
I need a change of heart.
Not the typical spoken change but a divine intervention. I need, I pray for a better heart, a servant's heart. Self-serving is not what I want to be, not what I want others to see.
How can I expect to be a beacon if my soul isn't shinning.
So I will work. I will work hard. I will make this house a home. I will give my husband a place to rest, to retreat.
And I will do it with the heart of a servant.
Always a valiant effort to become better than you are. :)
ReplyDeletethanks for this post. i struggle with this too. wanting the people around me to notice and appreciate what i am doing.....when i should be doing just to serve.
ReplyDeleteserving helps to give us a servant's heart....even if we don't start with one.
Mmmm... struggling with that as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this. And for linking up!
Thanks for the reminder. I hope to hold this in my heart for awhile. Tam
ReplyDeleteI feel the same.exact.way lately. I need a heartmakeover in this department.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing your heart. Thank you for speaking truth to mine.
I'll be praying.
Oh -- and SO glad you linked today. :)
Yikes. It's like you're talking to me, here :) A servant's heart would probably be happier than the 'don't-you-appreciate-dinner?' heart I have right now.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for writing this, and for joining in!
That's a hard one isn't it.
ReplyDeleteI struggle with this to, so much. Thank you for sharing this so beautifully.
