Day One of the 30-Day Husband Encouragement Challenge found at: http://www.reviveourhearts.com/topics/30-day-challenge.php

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!"


My Take:
- Let me know if you're participating, if you'd like, by posting a comment.
- Begin the challenge with prayer! You'll need it!
- I'm beginning Tuesday February 20th but you can begin whenever you'd like.
- God bless you and your marriage!

Well, I'm preparing for tomorrow. I had to break it down into a list because otherwise it was just overwhelming.

1. Don't say anything negative about my husband to him or anyone else.
2. Mention something that I admire or appreciate about my husband to him and to someone else.
3. Tell my husband I'm thankful I'm his wife and I want to be a blessing to him forever. Tell him that he can trust him to be 'on his side'.
4. Wake him up with 'I love you' and 'I'm glad I'm your wife'.

Maybe I should write this down. :)
