Now don't get me wrong, I am not doing the dishes, I do do the dishes, as a matter of fact since my wife has been pregnant I have gotten very good at a lot of household chores that I chose to be bad at before. But last weekend two of my closest buddies came down to Selma, Jordan and Caleb, Caleb brought his wife along too. We had a blast, we went to BJ's, came back to my house and played Wii and Snatch, then we woke up the next day and went to church.
The day was ridiculously long after that as I had to attend a coed baby shower being put on by our church, the very reason Caleb and Jordan were there.(I wasn't going to endure this thing alone, so i threw them under the bus with me). After that i had High School YM and by the time I got home I needed to clean up the house. When I walked into the kitchen I realized all the dishes were done, I asked Sarah if she did them and she thought i had done them. Upon further investigation I came to realize Lori, Caleb's wife, had cleaned up everything from the night before.
Now I want Lori to come over more often. Isn't this how we should be with the world, shouldn't we want to take other people's dirty dishes and clean them up for them? Lori wasn't asked or expected to do my dishes, but she did them and as a result I not only like her more but my respect for her has skyrocketed. Shouldn't we be taking those who are burdened with their own dirty dishes and lighten their load? Help them a long, give them a hand up when all they can say is the pile of dirty filthy nastiness?
