What love can look like

Sometimes love looks like flowers for no reason or "time off" from the kids.

Sometimes it takes the form of the little things...an emptied dishwasher, laundry folded, a floor mopped.

Sometimes love looks like this...


We call it the "picker-upper." I'm not sure what it is really called, but I am pretty sure it is meant for people over the age of 80.

This is actually the second one my hubby has brought home for me as a hilarious loving surprise. The first one appeared when I was 8 months+ pregnant with Abby. It was a life-saver then. But we let the kids play with it and it eventually broke. Earlier this week Chris came home with another picker-upper.

I thought it was WAAAAY too early for me to need its assistance again at only 6 months pregnant and it has been sitting in a closet...until today. After having 10 kids under the age of 5 in my house today for a playdate I MOST DEFINITELY needed and greatly appreciated the picker-upper. Cleaning up was a breeze and this blessed thing saved me from bending over about 100 times.

I am 6 months along, but I am feeling about 8 months pregnant lately, and I decided today that I am not too proud for the picker-upper. It could be a long last few months and I need all the help I can get.

And truly, whenever I use this thing I smile at what love can look like 10 years into marriage.
