Energy suckers-sometimes that's what my kids are. They can suck all of the energy out of me, so I have none left for my husband. Don't get me wrong. I love doing things for them, loving on them, taking care of them, but sometimes as mothers AND wives it comes at the expense of our husbands. Sometimes I just have no energy left at the end of the day and just collapse into bed. God made me to be a nurturing caretaker, but not just for my children. He made me to care for my husband and his needs as well. One mom said, "It's ironic. Romance gave us our children, and our children took away the romance."
I need to make sure he's my priority, because let's face it, he's going to be around long after the kids are gone. Song of Solomon talks about saving up all the choice fruits for our beloved. Not the leftovers? Oh.
God, help me today to make Robbie a priority, so he knows how much I love him.

Denise, this is a lesson I've had to learn over & over & over again.
Isn't it interesting that it takes many times over and over for us to learn. God is so patient with us. The Israelites are a real encouragement to me, because I see how they had to learn the same lesson over and over and over... But God still faithfully stayed by their side and forgave them again and again. Thank you, Father, for your patience.
