It may seem simple to others, but it's not to me.
It's a simple act, but it's still an act of serving.
Every night, he faithfully offers and brings me a glass of cold water. It's a gesture that I often take for granted, even though I truly appreciate it.
One of the most difficult things to do in a marriage is to put the other person's needs before our own. It's all about "my time", or how he/she has hurt "me". God calls us to serve one another in love (even when we don't feel like it).
I pray that I can be less selfish in my marriage and in all my relationships and I am thankful for my glass of water every night!
"...let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easliy entangles, and let us run with perseveance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith..." Hebrews 12:1,2

Glass of Water
"...rather, serve one another in love" (Galatians 5:13b).
"Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ" (Ephesians 5:21).
