My Rating as a Wife!

Earlier this week, my very clever husband thought it would be amusing to inform me that this week he is holding my review and will be assessing my performance as the wife. Wow! ...this could go very badly! I haven't even been trying to impress him all that much and I'm just not sure I'm ready for this review. I mean, give a sister some notice!
So to continue with this fun little excercise I ask Alvaro at the end of each day how I'm doing. He always says, "On a scale of 1 to 10...." and then he gives me the verdict for the day. One evening, I had achieved an 11 (I have no idea why...I was just sitting on the couch doing my cross stitch drinking some tea in my pj's...apparently this gains huge pointage!) Then another day, he announced that I had dipped to a staggering 4.5! What?!? What brought this on you ask? I guess it was because I was stepping on the back of his flip flop with each step he took...yeah I guess that is pretty annoying so I'll accept the 4.5
But the thing is it didn't take long at all for me to shoot right back up to 9 or a 10. Either he has a major issue with short term memory or he just doesn't hold on to grievances. In all seriousness, I can't remember a time when he ever really remembered a slight I caused or a hurt I imposed.
Just today (four days into this fake and funny review process) I was completely struck by how it is the perfect picture of how I always experience God's love and acceptance. I believe that God wastes no time at all in telling me when I've not lived up to my potential of being a caring and loving person. But then it's over and I feel the complete and non-judgemental love that I always felt. There is no list of grievances stacking up against me. This is where my freedom lies. In being a cherished child of God.
