My wife is very competent at her job of managing our home. That competence brings an incredible amount of peace and joy to our household.
If I come home at 5:00 PM and tell her
“We have 30 people coming over at 6:00 PM. We need to feed them,”
She doesn’t panic or get mad. She immediately starts thinking about what she can make, in that short amount of time, to feed 30 people.
She keeps the fridge stocked with soda and beer for guests. She makes sure the humidor is stocked with cigars. She keeps plenty of ice on hand. She always has groceries to bust out a bunch of tacos or homemade pizza for crowds
She even goes so far as to think "I know that this guest has an older Iphone, let me get a charger for his phone set up." Or "This guest has a gluten allergy, so let me make a special pizza for him."
It is a tremendous blessing to me, and to our guests. I can't tell you how often people stop me to tell me how amazing it is receive her hospitality
