• May. 21, 2009 - S.H.M.I.L.Y. for 30 days of prayer...
Showing our husbands how much we love them can also come in ways they may not see or even be aware of...
Covering your husband in prayer is so important, and regardless of where your marriage is right now (great, okay, or falling apart)... this event is to simply make sure that your man is being prayed for every day for a month... regardless of how YOU feel.
WHAT YOU'LL DO: Read a chapter a day, which includes a prayer. (Even if you've read this book before, you can just do the prayers and skip the reading... the point is for you to PRAY!)
FYI: Daily reminders to pray for your husband will be sent out through facebook messages to you. (So, if you don't have an account already... get to it! tee hee...) You don't have to discuss anything (and no "spouse bashing" will be allowed) but can share if you'd like. You can also leave links to your blog posts if you make any as well. Please spread the word to others and join the event on facebook! Click the following link to get there... http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1206712385&ref=name#/event.php?eid=79989390679&ref=mf or you look up S.H.M.I.L.Y. for 30 days of prayer... too.
THE POINT: To get wives praying for their husbands... that's it! Doesn't matter what the background, denomination, or current state your life is in... Let's get those hubbies covered in prayer and stand back and expect great things to happen to them, our marriages, and even ourselves as we petition God on their behalf!
(And might I add, that if things are really bad, that this is a great time to do this! When my marriage was falling apart and my husband and I were ready to divorce, I came across this book, and it not only changed my marriage... but it changed me as well!)
The "day of love" is coming so get yourself ready to show your loved ones how much you love them with a couple of SHMILY ideas! Click the following links to read previous posts...
Any SHMILY time would be great... so pick one... or MANY and have fun! Be sure to let us know if you blog about your day! I'll be back to post mine after the 14th!
• Feb. 5, 2007 - The 30-Week Husband Encouragement Challenge for Wives Booklet!
For those of you interested, I've made a new booklet to encourage your husband. This is from the 30-day encouragement challenge but has been re-configured to stretch into 30 WEEKS and is being hosted at A CLEAN HEART Forum. You must register to be a part of the forum, and then request to be a part of this group once you're activated. It's a private group to keep it intimate and encourage each other as we seek to become better wives and encourage our husbands.
You can click the following link to get the booklet: THE 30-WEEK HUSBAND ENCOURAGEMENT CHALLENGE FOR WIVES BOOKLET Print out this booklet (which has the links from other sites for parts of the booklet). It will tell you where to put the pages gathered from other websites as well (which include the 30-Day Encouragement Challenge from Revive Our Hearts (that we're doing weekly) as well as something from Door Posts' site.
Don't forget to print out the booklet on BOTH SIDES!

The S.H.M.I.L.Y. Time Blog
"S.H.M.I.L.Y. Time" (See How Much I Love You) focuses on our priority after God as wives, which is to bring glory to Him through being a wife. It doesn't matter what stage (or state) your marriage is in right now. Pray to the Lord to give you the strength, forgiveness, and love you need to be the wife He intends for you to be.
