TIP #12 THIS IS A GOOD ONE! (LIKE ALL OF THEM!) Call your wife gorgeous! My husband does! The effect? Well, we’ve been married since 1979! To each other! Ephesians 5:25-33 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this…..
THIS PARTICULAR CELEBRATION has always been one of my very favorites, even growing up in the very ungodly atmosphere of my childhood… I believed in being thankful! I just never took time from childhood age up until young adulthood to focus on Who to be thankful to! Now: it’s a no-brainer… for I have repented. My heart is no longer calloused, my eyes are no longer deliberately dim; my light shines in unending love for God eternal, immortal, the…..
TIP #9 MAKE SOME FUN! Monday is my cleaning day… Inadvertently I HAD not put the clean towels back in the bathroom before Duane showers… BUT: today I did it on purpose! AND WAITED FOR: “Oh no! I don’t have a towel!” I was standing by the door ready with a clean towel… and laughing! I told Duane this was a planned event AND: we both laughed! Proverbs 15:15 All the days of the oppressed…..
PERPETUAL: a word which has the connotation of an everlasting predestination regarding any given adventure, occurrence or life decision. DEARLY BELOVED… WE GATHERED HERE today not to be bored, not to be jealous, not to be hateful, not to be sickened, not to be overcome by the enemy of our souls, not to be broke, disgusted, falling apart, crippled, blind or lame; and yes, not even merely existing as those who love to proclaim: “I’m hanging in there.” …..
TIP #9 JOIN IN YOUR WIFE’S CELEBRATIONS! Duane is making one of my favorite dinners tonight (Yes! Liver & Onions!) As I came into the kitchen (where, thank You, Jesus, he doesn’t want me in the way!) I saw he was letting the butter sit out to soften! I got very excited and said: “Oh, Grasshopper! You are trainable!” Let your light so shine that you appreciate your wife’s fun and loving jokes on you! …..
TIP #8 IN THE DELIVERY ROOM don’t get upset. Just serve your wife as she’s bringing your child into this world. Make it good memories! Psalm 127:3 Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.
TIP #7 CALL HER GORGEOUS! My husband does… in front of people! Esther 2:7 Mordecai had a cousin named Hadassah, whom he had brought up because she had neither father nor mother. This young woman, who was also known as Esther, had a lovely figure and was beautiful.
Recently I was talking to someone who claimed to know nothing about God, who claimed not to have a Bible. Then more recently this person claimed to be Catholic… Go figure. Obviously, this is not an honest person. Not a bold one either; for one who loves God, truly loves God, loves himself and mankind wants the world to know JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY! Selah. Choose this day your destiny now! Again, I heard of a teenager dying…..
TIP #6 MY HUSBAND LOVES TO SAY: “Happy wife! Happy life!” It goes both ways women… Today I am working… AND: Today is one of his rare opportunities to go fishing (and with our son!) Male bonding is crucial no matter what the devil says. I am highly blessed and joyful Duane is having this time today! AND boy, will he be content when he comes home! IT TAKES TWO! Proverbs 13:20 Walk with the wise…..
TO BECOME A SPIRIT-FILLED CHILD OF GOD… pray this and MEAN IT! God in Heaven, I come to You in the name of Your only begotten Son, Jesus. I have sinned. I believe and know that Jesus is God. He lived a sinless life, took all my sickness and infirmities and died on the cross for my sins. I believe and know that He was raised from the dead so I might be saved and have eternal life in…..
