| Me in my in my imperfectly perfect place |
A few years back, a group of us farm-wives were chatting about
our lives and the ever-growing demands on our time, referring to family, jobs
outside the home as well as the full time job of in the home and around the
farm. And I’ll never forget the comment
one friend said, “I need a wife!!”
Meaning, she wanted a person who would be the behind the scenes fixer,
the person who shopped, cooked, cleaned, did laundry, ran errands, and took
care of all the details large and small to make life run smoothly. Basically, to me, it sounded a lot like a
personal servant. And I have to tell you it sounded absolutely divine. The moment she uttered those words, we all
stopped talking, looked at her in awe and agreed, we all needed wives!
