Oct. 6, 2006 - Encouragement for those like me...
Just wanted to give some encouragement
for those of you out there who are struggling like me 
to be the wife that GOD expects me to be.
God has shown me lately that I need to guard my tongue especially in regards to my dh. 
And that talking about the problem 
instead of giving it directly to HIM
isn't helping either.
So here are a few encouraging words.
GOD BLESS!
We should seize every opportunity to give encouragement. Encouragement is oxygen to the soul.
"A man hath joy by the answer of this mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!"
Proverbs 15:23
I regret often that I have spoken; never that I have been silent.
"In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise."
Proverbs 10:19
Kind words can be short and easy to speak,
but their echoes are truly endless.
"She opens her mouth with skillful and godly Wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness
(giving counsel and instruction)."
Proverbs 31:26
A house is made of walls and beams;
a home is made of love and dreams.
"Better a meal of vegetables where there is love
than a fattened calf with hatred."
Proverbs 15:17
Ninety percent of the friction of daily life
is caused by the wrong tone of voice.
"A man finds joy in giving an apt repy--
and how good is a timely word!"
Proverbs 15:23
Forgiveness is giving love when there is no reason to.
"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy."
Matthew 5:7
May the Lord richly bless all who read this and be with you!!!

Thanks for the words of encouragement! And thanks for stopping by my blog. I know I need me time once in a while . . . I just wish I could schedule it better in my day. IOW, I want the entire world to conform to my schedule: LOL! But, you are right, I just gotta make the time.
