Like many people, I try planning and arranging my week so I can accomplish as much as possible.

I got in trouble one time. She was telling a story and in the middle she
turned to me and said, “Honey, would you tell them the rest of the 
story for me?” 

I cannot remember how I got out of that spot, but it was the most
difficult spot I have ever been in. If I make something up, will she 
correct me in front of all our friends? 

I'm not sure about this, but one time she did it on purpose to catch me.
Not wanting to embarrass her or me in particular, I made up the rest of 
the story as best I could. As long as the people were laughing when I 
finished was all that really mattered. 

It was Friday morning and my wife looked at me and said, “It's Friday.
Are you ready to go?” 

“Go where?” Not knowing what she was talking about. 

You did look at the “honey-do-list” I gave you on Monday, didn't you? 

With a little bit of a stutter, I assured her that I had. 

“Then,” she said rather sarcastically, “you know what we're doing
today?” 

I had no idea what she was talking about. Finally, out of desperation, I
did look at the “honey-do-list.” There in bold letters I could never 
have overlooked were these words, “Friday take your wife out for a 
special Mother's Day celebration dinner.” 

I looked at her, then looked at the list and looked back at her. 

“You didn't look at that list on Monday, did you?” 

I could not help but think of what Solomon said. “Whatsoever thy hand
findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, 
nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest” 
(Ecclesiastes 9:10). 

We had a wonderful lunch that Friday, a lunch I will remember for a long
time.
