Marriage = Blessing

A pretty good week has gone by and I am finding that I need to put more effort into this marriage challenge.  It's not very difficult, but I feel like I rush to get things said or done instead of taking time to actually think clearly about what I'm doing.  Here's the list from last week that I worked on:


*Imagine how it feels to be in your husband's shoes.  (Probably stressed right now!)
*Today's focus:  kindness  (I always think I'm kind but I'm sure that's not true!)
*Tell him you're glad you married him.  (I nearly ALWAYS think this way about Andy!)
*Pray for wisdom in being a wife.  (We all need that one, right?)
*Don't use any sarcasm with your husband today.  (Ummm, hard one for me...)
*Remember that being a wife is a blessing.  (Yes!)
*Think only positive thoughts about your husband today.  (Easy!)


Because some of these are on a more personal level, I don't even think Andy has noticed any difference in my behavior this month.  I never told him what I was working on so I'll have to ask him if he has noticed anything!  


Now I'm off to call my sister in Nebraska and remind her that when she hears the tornado sirens going off, GET IN THE BASEMENT, GIRLFRIEND!  AND DON'T FORGET YOUR CHILDREN!!
