Heart of a Leader

My Husbands Socks
          Heart of a Leader
    
             Not sure about you but my husband’s socks or anyone else’s would not be the most romantic thing I would have in mind for comfort. Socks are not part of my daily wardrobe as this last Sunday I had kicked my shoes off during service, and then proceeded to the front of the sanctuary to take communion barefoot.


    However, I find when my tootsies are cold and my husband is not at hand to snuggle my toes next to for warmth, I pull socks from his drawer and slowly slip them on. As I slip them on a smile slowly grows onto my lips and there is a slow warming of my heart. My several pairs of slippers and custom fleece socks just do not compare.

     Why his socks? I have found two pairs that bring a smile and warmth to my heart quickly and have made their way to my sock drawer. I can tell you Tim’s heart of a leader is where the comfort comes from. From my cool tootsies the heart of his leadership wraps warmth around my mind, body and spirit. 

               Here are a few identifiers of a heart of a leader:
  •  Positive 
  •  Encourager     
  •  Responsive to others needs
  • Offers praise even when we fail
  • Perfection is not as important than trying and failing

What are your identifers for a heart of a leader?
From His Drawer to Mine,
