Honor Your Husband day #21,22,23,24,25

[Challenge.jpg]



Wow life sails by on a breeze.
My beloved is working 10 hour days 5 days a week. He comes home to lovingly greet me. he plays with his children. Eats his meal. Plays some more or does home chores. Then he reads them 45 minutes of the Hardy Boys (every night). He lovingly supports all of my efforts. Is always available for me if he can be. Takes out the trash comes to my aide at a request willing and sweet. This is how is was in the old days of our forefathers 10 hour days hard working families.
Sometimes he is weak when I am strong. His weakness is in the fatigue that occurs from pouring himself out for the children and I. He is also strong; never late for work never missing work, always providing, offering his Faith, knowledge, strength and hope.
It is hard when I am weak and he is weak. I need his strength, but I understand that it is then that God is my husband and Beloved is my brother. I must then find my strength in HIM (God). I do not resent my beloved in his weakness, it would be like hitting a man when he is down. I might and do get miffed or angry that I might not be getting "my needs met" but then it is my responsibility to reach out and within to the source of my needs met and the root of the "needs" cause and address it and grow, heal and mature. Another day will come when I am held in my beloveds strength. Ebb and flow the wave of life, breeze will fill the sail.

We are both blessed to be married to our best friend, love you my friend.

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
