I thought it would be good for the men to hear about my side of “Nana on Duty“.

First of all, I had a very hectic week at work with a new customer.  As a result I was providentially hindered from doing anything practical to help Debi.  What I could do was listen to her struggles.  Sometimes listening to the degree where Debi senses my care and concern is all she needs to continue doing what she has to do.

I love caring for my wife.  I want to help whenever I can, but when circumstances dictate otherwise, I must communicate my care through my listening ear and understanding heart.

Taking care of small children is a full-time job, including overtime with no pay – at least not in this life!  I admire my wife who did this with our own three children and now my daughters who are following in her footsteps.

Husbands, let’s highly esteem our wives and give them the place of honor they deserve. When Nana or Mama is on Duty 24/7, let’s be the Papa on Duty to care for them 24/7.

“Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.”  1 Peter 3:7  ESV
