My Perfect Self or The Perfect Pastor's Wife
Our church ladies have been doing a Bible study on the book "Grace for the Good Girl" by Emily Freeman. One thing we did at our first meeting was to write a description of our "perfect selves". If we could have and meet every expectation or goal what would that look like? I thought I'd share mine.
My Perfect Self
I'm a size 8 , no make that a size 10 (I'm really tall) and I don't want to be TOO skinny.
I thrive on 5 hours of sleep each night and awaken delightfully charming after sleeping in my perfectly color coordinated bed, perched high atop 7 throw pillows (that I made myself).
I spend 1 hour studying the Bible and praying for others before awakening my children and serving them a hot, from scratch breakfast every morning (with cloth napkins of course).
I grown my own organic vegetables, which I can , I haven’t had a diet Coke in 5 years.
There are never dirty dishes in my sink and my laundry is folded the second the dryer beeps.
I help the needy and often roam around looking for homeless people to invite to dinner.
I make lovely care packages for college students all from my giant stockpile of items that I bought on sale...with a double coupon.
I knit for orphans in Bulgaria, I call lonely widows on the phone and witness to the mail man daily.
I teach my baby sign language, and make all my own clothes.
I delight in pre treating laundry, cleaning up fur balls and balancing the checkbook.
I can quote whole chapters of the Bible from memory and never need a song book as I know them all by heart.
I make lovely, romantic dinners for my husband 5 nights a week after the children go to bed.
I mow the lawn, change the oil and resided the house, not because I had to but because I like too.
I floss after every meal.
There are never month old McDonald's french fries on the floor of my minivan.
I'm such a good person and wonderful Christian that I don't really need God's help, but he always needs mine.
