Whatever you do, do from the heart, as for the Lord and not for others, knowing that you will receive from the Lord the due payment of the inheritance; be slaves of the Lord Christ.
Typically, people like to be called by name and not a title, especially if the title is so-and-so's husband or so-and-so's dad because the person is able to remember someone's name, just not yours. It looks like they think the other person is more important even if that isn't the way it is meant. Of course, that should be fine with us because it's our job to put others first and it should be easy when it's people we love.
Joseph was given a job that he didn't want to do until he learned God wanted him to do it. Even though an angel probably won't be as explicit with us, we should treat the jobs we are given by those God puts above us as coming from him, as menial as those tasks may be (as long as they are not God's will). If you can go to work every day for God, it's easier than going to work every day for your boss. Whatever your boss gives you, whether it's your AM boss at work or your PM boss (as some spouses are referred to) at home, do it with a smile on your face to honor God. If you do it moaning and groaning, that's your reward.
