The little things mean so much

Before the holidays, we brought home an entire box of apples from the FFA fruit sale.  They've been kept in our garage, and they are nearly gone.  But the last two weeks, Andrew has so lovingly brought in an apple and placed it on the counter for me each morning.  He is grabbing his own apple, and thoughtfully grabs one for me.  He thinks nothing of it because he keeps saying he is grabbing his own, why not grab two?  But that apple sitting on the counter each morning fills my heart more than I can say.  It's not just about not having to go out and get my own apple.  It's not even that he is being kind.  It's that he thought about me.  It seems so little, but it truly is so big, and I'm so grateful.  This is just one example of so many.

I'm grateful to be in this marriage.  My most fervent wish is that each of my children can find a partner, not just a spouse but a true partner, who loves them as I am loved.
