So, Mitch & I grabbed pens, paper, set a timer and started writing away! When we started the activity, I had imagined it ending like this- The timer would go off: I would have my whole list done & Mitch would only have 10 things. I'd tease him a little, then I'd help him finish his list.... Not because my hubby doesn't have 20 things that he's good at-he just sometimes has a hard time recognizing his talents & giving himself rightful credit for them.
How did it really end? I thought I was off to a great start. I very thoughtfully wrote out #1-2 and then Mitch said, "Only 1 minute 20 seconds left." Then I scrambled and only made it to #13... Mitch finished with 19! Then HE helped me finish my list! Believe it or not, I'm glad I didn't finish first. Mitch reminded me of a lot of my positive attributes that I consistently overlook myself. I told him I was going to put the list somewhere I won't lose it & read it when I'm having a tough day to remind myself who I really am & what I'm really capable of:
- I am someone people can call in their time of need & feel comfortable doing so.
- I love the Lord and have a profound testimony of the gospel & its ability to heal people and families.
- I am an awesome Mom!
- I'm an even better wife!
- I can cook well... with recipes
- I am a leader who cares
- I support people others might not believe in
- I have pride in my home and family
- The glass is always half full
- I have a compassionate heart
- Service is my middle name
- I'm a faithful friend
- I have extreme patience...with my husband! Mitch amended this one to "I am patient to a fault"
- I have a great capacity to love
- I'm an excellent student
- I'm a "jack of all trades" (from patching holes in the wall to organizing messy closets!)
- Good with animals & kids
- Dedicated to whatever I choose
- I can motivate people
- I'm a great hostess!
Thanks for the help hubby!
