Ladies, A Challenge.

Ladies as we approach another new week, let's seek to build our spouses up.

Our sweet men carry such a big load. 

They carry the load of...

Being the leader of the home
The finacial leader
The provider
The protector
The Spirtiual leader
The need meeter (I know meeter is not a word, but is my lovely word.)
The mind reader (Yes ladies we do expect this)
The encourager 
The helper

And so on. It's a heavy load! 

So here's the challenge.

Rather than place more on them by expecting things from them only Christ can fulfill, let's focus on helping ease their load. 

How do we do this, for starters, let's nag less and encourage more. Then, let's look to Christ to be...

Our Leader
Our Provider
Our Protector
Our Need Meeter
Our Helper
Our Encourager

When we take this off our spouses and place it upon Christ, not only will it lighten their load, but it will place our trust in the One for whom it should be in, in the first place-Christ!

Ladies, if we put Christ first in our lives and focus on serving, pleasing, and honoring Him, we will then desire to serve, honor and please our spouses. 

Christ should always be our main focus! 





This Sweet Lady

If you are ever in need of a face lift for any of your Social Media, give her a shout. You will be blessed! Thanks Kassie for making this experience so wonderful.

It's What He Wants

"No, O people, the LORD has already told you what is good, and this is what he requires: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God." Micah 6:8

Jesus as we focus on Your Word let it penetrate to the depths of our hearts cleansing as it passes by every dirty and sinful area. 

May it renew us and bring us to action. Action that expresses our time spent with You and the love that overflows from within.

The truth is Jesus, we need You. We need Your help on a daily basis. We often try to make our own requirements all to come up short and frustrated. Only You know what is best and pleasing to You. 

Show us Your ways and soften the stubbornness of our hearts so we can fulfill Your requirement and live lives that do good, love mercy, and walk humbly with You. Amen
