Banana Cravings?

So on Sunday night I am sitting down to watch my favorite TV show ever, "Deadwood." Dom calls me from the next room and this is the conversation that ensues:

"Todd?"

"Yeah."

"I want bananas."

"Like for lunch this week?"

"No. Right now."

"Immediately?"

"Well, after you watch your show."

"I'll go, no problem."

So I jump in the car and head on over the Stop'n Shop, the only place open late on a Sunday night. The thing about a supermarket, is you inevitably come across things you need that you don't have.

So one hour and $75 later, I walk in the apartment and Dom is fast asleep. I simply stand over her with the banana. "DOM!"

"WHAT!"

"I have your banana... and some other stuff that I bought."

"I don't want it any more." (snore)

Tomorrow she will be 10 weeks in and already this kid is costing me Xbox time, TV shows, $75 trips to the grocery store late at night.

Then it occurs to me that slowly, ever so slowly, God is teaching me to sacrifice. There was no way when I was single that I would think of giving up this much for anyone, and now I gladly do it for my wife and child. It is at times like this that I realize how little I know about God and what it really means to love.
