“唐娜!我扔给你一条绳子,”他喊着,“抓住它,向我这边走。”
我打开车门,抓住绳子。在激流的水中,我滑倒了。“我过不去!”我喊道,并使劲拽着绳子。
“能,你能的。”他的声音很平静。
如果那不是艾?克,而是其他任何一个人,我想我是不会成功的。但我信任我的丈夫。我完全按他的指挥做,最终扑到他的怀里。“谢谢,”我说,然后靠在他的胸膛哭了,“我很抱歉,刚才跟你发脾气,那是……”
“嘘……”艾?克低声说,“现在好了,你没事就好。”
上帝提醒了我,艾?克完全懂得怎样照顾人。

Homemaking
Anonymous
One rainy November morning I had about all I could take。 I knew if I didn’t leave the house soon I would unleash1 a storm of anger on my husband;
“I’m taking you to work。” ; and then grabbed my satchel2 and lesson plans。 “I’ve been driving that route for many years。 I can drive it now。”
“I said I’m taking you to work。” He reached for his boots。
I looked at the stacks of newspaper; the dirty dishes still on the table。 “Don’t you have enough to do? I can take care of myself。” l shouted out; not even kissing him good…bye。 。。
干不完的家务活(2)
“Don’t take the shortcut; Donna!” He shouted after me。
A heart attack that past spring forced my husband to leave his job。 l was in the middle of my twenty…second year teaching high school seniors; while
The new arrangement was a disaster。 Exhausted after a day of dealing with faculty meetings and students; all I wanted was a hot home cooked meal and a good night’s sleep。
A microwave package greeted me at the table。
One night; I was horrified to discover
“l found out how to save on water; soap and electricity。” “Just wash everything together。”
During the months that followed; his cooking somehow managed to get worse。 At least I cooked us balanced meals; I wanted to say。 But then I would remember the time ; though I discovered later how he detested the sight of beets。 So I wouldn’t say anything to him。
As far as I was concerned; things couldn’t get much worse。 So that rainy morning when I found a now…blue half…slip stuffed in a dresser drawer; I could only grit my teeth; l had it!
Lord; can’t you help him with just the basics of taking care of us? I stormed out of the house。
Ten minutes later; ignoring ’s warning about taking the shortcut in bad weather; I turned off the main route。
But as I rounded the corner a swirling mess gushed across my path。 It can’t be that deep; I thought。 But after a few feet; the car stalled。 Almost 20 minutes passed; the car swayed。 The chocolaty water surged。 Please; God; I prayed; take care of me。
Three long blasts of horn interrupted my praying。 Looking over my shoulder; !
“Donna!I’m throwing a rope;” he yelled。 “Hang on to it and walk straight toward me。”
I opened the door; grabbed the rope。 I slipped in the rushing water; “ I can’t!”I screamed; straining at the rope。
“Yes; you can。” His voice was calm。
If it had been anybody but ; I don’t think I could have done it。 But I trusted my husband。 I didn’t exactly as he instructed; and finally fell into his arms。 “Thank you;” I said; sobbing against his chest。 “I’m sorry I got so angry with you。 It’s just that 。。。”
“Sssss 。。。” murmured。 “It’s okay now。 I’ve got you。”
God had reminded me that understood a thing or tow about taking care of us after all。
