Did you miss Part I or Part II

Jack pulled into the driveway of his one-story ranch style home and turned off the engine. There was no better feeling that coming home after a hard day’s word. Kathy, his wife of nearly thirteen years, would surely be fixing dinner. “As if she doesn’t do enough,” Jack said to himself. Besides keeping up with their 10 year old son, Jacob, and the house work, she still found time to volunteer down at the local boys home. What had started as a once-a-week commitment had quickly turned into a daily routine. She loved the boys like her own, and they loved her back just as much. Jack smiled. He’d found a treasure in Kathy and he whispered praise to God for the blessing He’d given him.

He slammed the car door and went in the house. “I’m home,” he called.

“I’m in the kitchen!” Jack was there before she finished yelling. He knew where she’d be and he grabbed her and spun her around. “I missed you today, ” he whispered in her ear. She smiled and gave him a hug followed by a playful spank. “Put the potatoes on the table and go get cleaned up. And hurry,” she added with a giggle, “we’re hungry!”
