OK, so I have been feeling that I need to take this time to focus on being a better wife and mother. Since I am no longer working and get to stay home with my precious loves, to which I am so thankful for, I feel I should focus more outward and not on myself ( not that I did that a lot before, but one can always do better). While looking over my books that I currently have and the greatest book of all The Bible, I have decided to start reading (again) The Power of a Praying Wife! This book is AMAZING! And I am not just saying that. I would recommend it to anyone! And It might be on my list to give every young bride I know for a shower gift! Because it truly helps understand how to pray for your mate. I am also reminded of a marriage conference that my husband and I attended our first year of marriage- The Love and Respect Conference. I have taken away a lot of basic concepts from that, but since having children I feel as if sometimes those things get lost in a sea of diapers and trying to find time to sleep! I am making it my personal goal to focus more on my husband and his needs, and not let the kids get in the way. The kids yes are a priority, but when my husband is around I want him to know that we are so very grateful for what he does for us every day by going to work and sacrificing time with his family to provide for his family. I found a website while doing a simple google search last night about 25 ways to show your husband you respect him.
It reminded me of the little things that I can do as his wife:) I also found one for husbands, which after laughing at some of the 25 ways to show him respect (it showed me some things I do completely backwards), my husband was quite interested in reading the other one:) http://lovinglifeathome.wordpress.com/2012/08/06/25-ways-to-communicate-respect/ This link will bring you to a great list of ways to show your husband that you respect him. All with scripture to back it up! I am not making this up!:) It is a two way street though. Men are to show their wives love as we show them respect. I am so very thankful that I do have an amazing husband who works so hard for us daily and serves the Lord with his whole being. So I am excited to give my husband a giant smile and a welcome home kiss when he gets home tonight!
Did I mention it's our 7 year wedding anniversary today:)
Have a very blessed day!
