Simple Tasks

I must say that this post is rather different. I am not normally like this. I do not normally enjoy little tasks like this but today I did. Roger, being the sweetheart that he is, bought me a brand new iron and ironing board! Normally, I would not be thrilled to receive such a gift. Afterall, I knew that he only bought it so I could iron his clothes for the funeral... Either way, I enjoyed this task very much.


Here I am engaged to such a tender and sweet man and he asked me to do a simple task for him. How could I refuse? I could not help it. I daydreamed about when we are married. I will be ironing his work clothes for him the week before ( I am a planner...) and enjoying doing the simple things for him. Maybe one day I will not love ironing his clothes but as for today I love it. I love taking care of him. Just the other day he came to me with his laundry basket overflowing with clothes and his sweet smile. I cannot say no to that. I can't wait to fold his clothes and put them neatly away. I cannot wait to organize them just the way they should be ;-) Simple tasks. That's all it is. Simple tasks that let Roger know that he means the world to me, even if it is only ironing his dress clothes...

You echo my heart, sweet girl. I love the woman God is molding you into. You are going to make a fabulous wife. I have really enjoyed ironing Jim's clothes now that he is a Pastor. (Although I cannot iron his clothes a week ahead because his clothes would get wrinkled again in our tiny closets! Ha! NOT that I would think of that anyway. {wink})I pray for you daily. And YES!!! to a date! Maybe we could go on a Barnes and Noble date!!
