Day 12 Love Lets the Other Win
Good Morning Secret Agents of Love! I don't really have anything to write about today.....which is not a bad thing. God is good. He knows when our hearts are ready to receive, and he knows when we are in need of rest, even if it is rest from revelation!
I had a blessed beyond measure day yesterday. Two of my Girls blessed me with wonderful gifts. Gifts from their heart but also gifts from the Lord reminding me He is taking care of every detail of my life.
Tom ate leftover stroganoff, bless his heart. He slept peacefully so it didn't seem to kill him (though the sight and smell of it make me gag). I didn't actually do the item he gave me yet. By the time I got the info I needed from him, it was too late. However, I know what I am going to do, and I will to it today. Even though it isn't done, he was very relieved to know I am taking care of it. He said he has wanted me to take care of it for 2 years now. Yes, I did refrain from telling him that even though I am the worlds best mind reader I had missed the boat on that one, and I will continue to work on my skills because it is much more fun than simply asking someone for help! See, I have learned a lot in just 2 weeks!
Oh yeah, there were also about 10 times that I wanted to make one of my "I'm making a joke but there is a message of truth in it that I want you to decipher" comments. They were mainly about what he was eating, drinking, or watching on tv. I caught myself many times opening and then shutting my mouth (or did the Lord send the same angel down that held the lions mouth in the den with Daniel.......hmmmmmm). I know if I can eliminate these comments completely that would make a huge difference. He never comments about them, but I now believe they tear him down. I know it seems dumb that it took me so long to figure it out, it's just that when he says something I don't like I call him on it. I just figured most people would. Tom is not most people. He just keeps it all in. The removal of my humorous jabs at his ego alone will make a huge change is our relationship. Wow, I guess I did get more revelation....it just wasn't as painful to receive as many of the others were! Praise the Lord!
Hope you all have a blessed day today! Thanks for listening!
Today's Assignment:
Demonstrate love by willingly choosing to give in to an area of disagreement between you and your spouse. Tell them you are putting their needs first.
Questions:
What issue did you choose? what did giving in cost you? How will this help you in the future?
Philippians 2:4 Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others
Love you all-
Jen
