Hi Sharon! Thank you so much for your visit to the blog today, and for leaving such a kind comment.
ReplyDeleteYour husband is a blessed man indeed! You have a wonderful attitude toward service to your mate, and I am sure he does the same for you. I especially like the one about not presenting a problem until the husband is fed and not tired. Now that is sound advice!
Have a blessed Monday :) So nice to see you.

Hello! Boy, don't these words run counter to culture? The "blessed is" that I wish I had known when I first got married was not to contradict my husband in public. I have learned much about a man's need for respect since our early married days. I feel bad for the times I might have made him feel "less" than the great man and person he is.
ReplyDeleteDear Sharon, I also have had the desire to share some of these points myself. As I feel awful when I have not been that blessed wife to my Husband! I am thankful for those who have gone before us with these great teachings. May we be willing to learn and be corrected ourselves by the Word and our sisters who will remind us of these Godly qualities.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to have you back in my life, because you always encourage and uplift us in our calling!
Merry Christmas!!!! Roxy
A very thought-provoking post, my dear Sharon. I often think of the verse in Proverbs chapter 31 when it mentions the husband being "known in the gates." How I desire to speak good of my husband and not ill and may my actions speak of love. Thank you for this wonderful reminder, friend!
ReplyDeleteMay you have a beautifully blessed day :) Hugs to you!
Ceil, Susan, Roxy and Stephanie,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for visiting :) I was thankful when I stumbled upon this, it is a great standard for us as wives to present ourselves in a manner which respects the Lord and our husbands. A good 'heart' check :) I know that I have been convicted of a thing or two!
Thank you for encouraging me today!
