A friend of mine e-mailed me this 30-day challenge for wives to encourage their husbands on January 1st, 2008. Since January was such a rough month in the Bayman household, I wasn't able to participate. Now that I'm able to read my messages, I asked her if she could send it all to me at once, and she did. So I'm going to try to post one each day for 30 days to remind myself and encourage anyone else who's reading this blog to be a blessing in their home as well.
How appropriate for reading day 1 today, since yesterday, I wasn't particularly encouraging to my husband. Who more should we encourage than the man we love who takes care of us and leads our home and provides for our family? Well, here it is, and I will try to remember day 1 for the rest of my days!
Day One:
"The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life." Prov. 31:11-12
To refresh your memory...here's the 30-Day Encouragement Challenge...for the next 30 days:* You can't say anything negative about your husband ...to your husband...or to anyone else, about your husband.* Say something that you admire or appreciate about your husband...to your husband...and to someone else, about your husband!
To help you get started, have you ever thanked your husband for "choosing you" above all other women? He found you attractive as a person, and appreciated you. Though many circumstances in your marriage may have changed, let your husband know that you are glad God led you together, and that you want to be a blessing to him for the rest of your marriage. Let him know that he can trust you to be in his corner.
One of the best opportunities to express your gratitude is first thing in the morning. How do you greet your husband each morning? Is he confident in your love? Give him a "wake up call" that he'll never forget-a big "I love you" and an "I'm so glad I'm your wife!"
