I Found My Purpose Hi Dr. Laura, I was in the kitchen baking cookies while listening to your podcast. You asked listeners to put their hand up if they were adoring and sweet, and if their man would climb a mountain to carry you down and think nothing of it. I dropped my spatula, shot my hand up and shouted! "Me! That's me!" I immediately picked up my phone, snapped a picture of the fresh baked cookies and sent it to my husband with a kiss emoji. My husband is a very hardworking farmer, a real man, and I am his adoring farm wife, raising 2 kids, 2 dogs, 1 cat and 3 chickens! I keep the kitchen warm with fresh baked items and meals for him to come home to. Our farm has 3 sites all within about a mile of each other. Recently, I loaded the kids in the car to take them to town and noticed the gas level was very low. It was raining, and I was nicely dressed, so I called my husband, who was working on some equipment, and asked him if he could do me a favor. He responded as he always does, "You bet!" I asked him if he'd be willing to drive over and meet me at our fuel barrel on the farm because I didn't want to get out of the car and get muddy. Again, he responded, "You bet, I'll be right over!" I felt silly, because I was perfectly capable, but he showed up with a huge grin and asked for a kiss in return. This man has done so much more for me and our family, and I know he will always drop anything for his adoring wife. In return, he knows that he will always come home to a warm meal, laundered clothes, a clean house, happy kids and most importantly, a loving and affectionate wife. We always have time for each other, and no task or favor is too big or too small, even if the purpose is just to put a smile on one another's' face. Thank you Dr. Laura, because of you, and my amazing husband, I stopped searching for value in a career, and found my purpose in my home, as a wife and a mother. I get out of bed every morning, go to my kids' rooms and wake them up for school with a kiss, and wonder how I could have possibly wanted to miss out on those special moments each and every day with them.
