Follow Up - Let's Exercise...our speech!

After my post yesterday, I found this article today over at crosswalk and thought it was great. I am just going to share some dos for having sweet, pleasant speech for our husbands.
Words Your Husband Longs to Hear

1.
I’ve been thinking about you all day.
2.
What can I do for you today?
3.
How can I pray for you today?
4.
The best part of my day is when you come home.
5.
You are one of God’s most precious gifts to me.
6.
You are so wonderful.
7.
You look so handsome today.
8.
I don’t feel complete without you.
9.
I will always love you.
10.
I trust your decisions.



Today, pick just one of these phrases. Try it out on your husband and watch his eyes light up! When you love your husband well, God says “Well done, my good and faithful servant!”



Let’s Pray

Dear LORD, thank you for giving me the gift of my husband. Help me to never forget that one of the greatest places of ministry is in the home and that You are well pleased when I love my husband well. Help me to love my husband with my words and my actions today.

In Jesus’ Name,

Amen

    Great post!!! My first thought was "I think those things ALL the time!" Sure, I may think those things, but if I never say them, Mr. U will never know how much I love him, care about him, trust him, cherish him!!!

    Thank you for a wonderful post!

    His,
    Mrs. U

Sometimes We Score, Sometimes We Block

Our family is in the midst of little league soccer season. My youngest son is playing and his enthusiasm is contagious. He is pretty good at the sport, but what makes it so great is that he loves it! He counts the days until the next game or practice. He loves his coach and teammates. He has moved up an age level this year and the players are working more like team, passing to each other and watching out for each other during play. During the last game, my son scored two goals, they were the only goals of the game. In today's game the team scored eight goals. My son came up afterwards to me and said, "I didn't score today, but I blocked". What a powerful truth those words can hold. In life, sometimes we score, sometimes we block. Sometimes we do great things, we excel, we achieve, we meet our goal - we score! There are also times we see the needs of others, sometimes they are sad or hurting, we block their hits. We look out for them so they can score. We...

Word Filled Wednesday – Act Justly

He has shown you, O man, what is good;       And what does the LORD require of you                But to do justly, To love mercy,       And to walk humbly with your God?    Micah 6:8 Sometimes we struggle so hard with the question “What does God want us to do and be?”  This verse is a simple yet powerful reminder of some simple things that God requires of us.  Act and do justly, love mercy and walk humbly before God.  There are numerous opportunities each day to do justly, to do the right thing or to make the right choice.  We love mercy when we show kindness or mercy oftentimes to those who do not deserve it.  Walking humbly before God is acknowledging He alone is God.  He is the I AM – no one else is.  When we give Him the glory He is worthy of, it will humble our heart before Him....
