Encouragement Day 1: Review
I feel like I’ve learned so much in just one day. I can be very sarcastic! It is part of who I am, and a lot of times I have to bite my tongue to keep it under control. Yesterday, I went the whole day without saying anything sarcastic to my husband because that would not have been very encouraging! I want to honor God in both word and deed, so I needed to start with the words I used towards my husband. I realized that I wasn’t honoring my husband with my words. I am to be his #1 fan, but I admit that sometimes, I wasn’t being that. Instead, I used my words to tear him down. I had to ask God for forgiveness and my husband as well.
I made sure that I thanked my husband for choosing “me” above ALL OTHER women -- Not only choosing me as his wife, but trusting me to give him a child as well. I realize that even trusting me to be mother to his child is a blessing within itself. How many times do we really think about the fact that some men may see you as a wife, but not always as a mother?
My husband told me that he was going to “test” me to see if I was really going to not say anything negative to him. How funny! I did pass his test though and held up my end of the bargain. I’m looking forward to the future and my journey on “encouraging my husband.”
