One Simple Way to Serve Your Man

Fill Up His Cup- Now your husband's beverage of choice may be something different, but as for my Jared, he loves a nice cold glass of sweet tea (sweetened with stevia of course:). So, as a small gesture of saying 'I love you', I try to serve him by keeping his cup full. 

In the morning, if I'm in the kitchen before he is, I'll pour him a glass and set it on the table... 

In the afternoon, I try to make sure he has a fresh glass waiting for him when he comes home from work...

In the evening, I keep an eye on his glass at dinner and refill it when it gets low... 

On the weekend, when he's reading on the couch or catching up on emails, I'll set a cold glass beside him on a coaster...

Now some of you may be thinking, "Listen, lady, I'm no waitress. Just wait until you have kids and you'll see how unreasonable this idea is." Well, I'm not a waitress either and you're right, I don't know what it's like to have children, yet. But I do know that it takes approximately 9.3 seconds to do the task I am suggesting (5.2 seconds if he prefers no ice) and there are multiple opportunities throughout the day to attempt it at least once. 

Maybe you feel that you already spend an ample amount of time serving your man by cleaning up his dishes, washing his clothes, and buying his groceries.  While these tasks are by all means good and servant-oriented, do they specifically show your man that you are attentive to him and care about his needs?  Whether it's by preparing him a beverage or not, find something you can do that communicates these things to him. 

As a follower of Christ our attitude should be that of a servant-- striving to meet the needs of others (i.e. you husband is your number one 'other') and not only look to our own interests (Phil. 2). This is not easy to do, but we serve "with the strength that God supplies, so that in all things Christ may be glorified!" 1 Peter 4:10-11

So ladies, go pour a glass of something refreshing for your man! I believe it will do a lot more than quench his thirst. 

In what way do you "fill up your man's cup" ?

Love never fails, ya'll!
