i have noticed myself falling into the same slump of serving everyone but my own family. Thanks for the little reminder to start from home!

Beautiful (as always!). I’m a goal-oriented person, but sometimes I fail to keep my eyes fixed on the Lord and focus on the BIG goal of heaven. Thank you for the reminder. God bless.

Thanks for your kind comments. Many blessings to you all!

Simplemama, I make them in the morning. I’m better at remembering things in the morning and terrible with things at night (I am very much an early bird). Also, and this will sound a little funny, he can taste when sandwiches are made the night before, and he prefers them fresh. He’ll eat them however I make them, but since I know this, I try to make them that way (when it’s sandwiches — lately, it’s been leftovers a lot).

When I have a baby or other weird things that keep me from popping up early, I will get the dry stuff/non-cold stuff together the night before.

Hope that helps, and so humbled that I could inspire you to bring a smile to your vocation too.

Thank you Sara for this lovely reminder! Thinking like this got me out of bed this morning to make him his sandwich with the bread I’d baked for him the night before. Do you make his lunches mostly in the morning or at night?

Sara,
How lovely, charity begins at home, nice reminder. Underneath the aggravation, we really love our family and need to show it more. I’m sure he feels loved by your few minutes of care. Thank you,

Little things, great love. Good idea.
