woman's work

never underestimate the power of woman's work...cleaning, comforting, cooking, coordinating.  most of the women i know are in charge of making the house operate, keeping the kids alive and well, coordinating the little events in life, making their worlds go round....they wear many hats.  perhaps those hats on their own aren't particularly special, but together they make up the driving force behind their family. 
i am lucky to have a fiancee who appreciates my work and a family of women who are ready to pick up the pieces should i fall and need help back up. for this i am truly grateful.  most of the women i am friends with will swoop in at a moments notice and help make things happen.  for this i am truly grateful. 
our close family friends are dealing with an unknown illness and hospitalization right now.  their son and ours are bffs.  our community of friends has come together to offer prayer, dinner, and childcare.  i am seeing with my own eyes...the power of woman's work.  as you celebrate this weekend, please keep my friend's little family in your thoughts. xoxo.
