Delighting in the Details

I call out men's providership ALL the time, to their faces, as it's happening.

Sometimes they're surprised. I call out minutia of providership. Stuff they think doesn't count.

We have an unrealistic idea of providership, one I would argue is backward. We think provision serves need, when it actually serves prosperity.

So many men tell me they can't be providers because they don't make that kind of money. The kind it would take to cover all the bills or keep a wife home with the kids.

I find it to be tragic, this unworthiness in these men who may be able to build anything, fix anything, entertain their children for hours, anticipate their woman's hunger and plan for it. Men who are providers, who use their weekends to help their friends and family, to serve their community, who have a truck so they can be the guy you call.

Providing means that when you have leftovers, you look around, delighted with the possibility of delighting someone else.

If you want a partner who is a provider, look for *this* quality, and find your own delight. His financial reality right now has very little to do with what a true provider will deliver when he finds his reason.

You, embodying your delight. You're his reason.

Don't let his provision fall on deaf ears; tune to it, the details, the minutia, and enter a world of infinite receiving.
