Craving Chinese

My husband is the best!!! He is patient and has always put up with my goofs!
One day, I had such a craving for Chinese food! I was pregnant, and I REALLY wanted some.............so Bill told me to call the restaurant and order what I wanted! That was the first mistake!!! I asked what the menu was and it ALL sounded soooooooooooo good....so I ordered about four entrees.oops... I mean ooooooooooooopppppppppppppsssssssssss!
Bill picked up the order on the way home from work and when he came in he was a little red in the face. I asked him if he was okay, and he just said 'what were you thinking"???? I wasn't thinking anything I guess...until he told me the cost of what I had ordered! He told me that he hoped I was REALLY hungry!!! When Bill brought the food into the house though, I told him to take it back out and quick! The smell of it made me sick (not because it was bad) I had nausea from the pregnancy. It was winter, but he couldn't have any in the house and I certainly didn't want any now!! We ended up giving all of that food away that night .
Bill wasn't real happy with me as money was always tight, but he wrapped his arms around me and tried to comfort me because I was so sick. He told me it was o.k. !!! What a man!!
Now Bill orders the food if we order out.fancy that!!!
That's love! He didn't try to punish me with words of how dumb I was, didn't tell me we couldn't afford it etc. etc. He forgave me and that was that!
That's just like God when I screw up.again,and again, and again.......sometimes I think He even smiles as Psalm 103 says "He removes our sin as far as the East is from the West".
Thank you Bill for showing Christlikeness to me continually! I love that man!
