Amy has such a sweet, tender heart.
Today
we sit down to watch a movie, "The Book Thief." I say "we," but Amy
sat down to watch as I tried to finish some work from home, sitting
nearby, monitoring the movie, as best I can. I just can't seem to get
everything done, so I have to squeeze in all kinds of work wherever I
can.
Part
way into the movie, I have to get up and go to the back to read and
answer emails for work. This always takes longer than I think! I turn
around and the kids are coming in from school. It's later than I
thought is was. So, I get up and go back to see where Amy is in the
movie, only to find her in tears! Apparently, the movie is more tragic
than I thought! Ok, it's about a Jew, a little girl, and her adopted
parents in Nazi Germany, how much more tragic does it get? I guess I
need to watch this movie, for real this time.
I
am constantly amazed by the wonderful, sweet, tender heart Amy has and
how it influences all that she does and is. It carries her thru her
days, affects how she responds to the people around her, and colors how
she views the world. May I forever help to nurture and support that
sweet, tender heart and never do anything to harm it.
All
the crying over the movie has caused her head to ache. The poor thing
suffers from so many headaches. As she tries to sleep it away, I'm
touched by how blessed I am to have such a great wife!
