The Little Things

While out at a lecture tonight, my husband got up to talk to someone. He then went to the refreshments table at the other side of the room. I continued listening, and when he got back, he handed me a cup of soda.

I hadn't asked him to get me anything; I hadn't even thought of him bringing me anything back. The soda wasn't even a kind I drink (but I did take a sip so as not to hurt his feelings).
But while he was there at the refreshment table taking care of himself, he thought of me too. That one little gesture really made my night.

The tiniest things one does for his spouse can bring his spouse such happiness, it's incredible. It kind of makes it seem shameful to miss out on those little opportunities.
Someone who spoke at our wedding talked about how a husband and wife have the unique opportunity to do kindness for each other every day. It's really beautiful.

My husband is capable of making his own coffee. But I still make it for him, because I love him and it's a tiny thing I can do just for him. (Seriously just for him--I do NOT drink coffee.)

It's so easy and so worth it to do some little thing for someone in your life, just to make them happy. You don't have to be married--try it!
