My husband taught me a lesson in listening this week:) We were sharing about our life around the house and he mentioned that he feels bad on the days that I get up to go to work earlier than him and I fix him breakfast before I leave and get home just in time to make dinner...And on a good day, I'll remember to make him a lunch to take with him too. I LOVE doing this because working out of the home is not ideal for me, but since I can't be home, I want to do all I can to serve him so he will notice I'm gone as little as possible. So I told him not to feel bad because I love serving him like this. Since I can't serve him all day long in the home, it's one of the joys I can still have even though I'm working outside the home.
Well, this morning it was my husband's turn to get up and go to work early and I usually lay there groggy, but awake to talk in case he wants to. So he looked over at me, saw my eyes open and asked, "Are you wide awake?" to which I responded, "Yeah, pretty much." So he then asked, "Would you make me some breakfast to take with me?" "Of course," so I jumped out of bed and then realized I guess I wasn't as awake as I thought I was, but collected myself and joyously made my husband a breakfast bowl he could eat in the car on his way to work.
Then I thought about it, HE HEARD ME this week when I told him how it brings me joy to serve him, never mind that it's a couple hours later when I usually do it, I would never turn him down! Thank you Lord that my husband can ask me to serve him and that I can give with a happy heart. I love you Lord and it's all because of the joy you fill me with that allows it to overflow onto my husband! Deuteronomy 16:15
Anybody Can Be A Bride Today
We know a "Bride" as the beautiful woman at a wedding, but if you are confused by the use of the word "Bride" in this blog...this term is used because we should be living a life in constant preparation for His return just as a "Bride" is constantly preparing to get ready on her wedding day (Revelation 21). We do this by having a relationship with Jesus and living a life that is pleasing to Him. The Christian Church eagerly awaits our wedding day with the Lord! If you have any questions or would like to talk about how to become part of the "Bride" and don't know who to ask, you can ask me, I would love to lead you into a relationship with Him. Read John 3:16 if nothing else!
