I found another lovely blog this week  – A Virtuous Woman. She posted very eloquently about serving our husbands, including one of the most compelling exerpts I have seen from Edith Schaeffer. Lost in the hooha that is generally stirred up when one begins to discuss wifely submission, Ephesians, and ‘headship’ is the idea that we serve less because of Ephesians and more because of Matt 25:35. It is not our husbands who call us to serve, it is Jesus who says, "When I was hungry, you gave me to eat…"

Anyway, I encourage you to consider her post. It’s not about rules, but about the softening of hearts that occurs when we serve as He did – without grumbling or murmuring. (I am working on that part….)  Its not about ‘why must I’ but about ‘why shouldn’t I’. And moreover, about what incredible good comes to us by laying down our lives for another.
