• Jun. 5, 2008 - Blessings For My Husband #1

Myspace Comments

When I first set out on this I wanted it to be a weekly entry, To be able to edify and lift up my husband and tell him how much he means to me and how much I appreciate him each and every week. So for those of you who are following me in this I apologize. It has turned into more of a monthly thing. I just have not been able to find the time to blog lately. I can not wait until this summer I am going to be blogging and scrapbooking! I can hardly wait. But I also have a goal of getting more organized. This post is going to be a little different. My inspiration started with a conviction. A few weeks ago my husband had invited a friend of his over, just to sign a few papers, without telling me. I was upset and bothered because the house was not in "company" order and he should have warned me. He said he didn't care what the house looked like for company but rather for him. He asked why I was so concerned about what others thought as opposed to what he thought! WOW was I convicted. I am always making sure the house is in order if I know compnay is coming, yet I slack off during the rest of the time thinking he should understand I am busy all day with the kids. 


 Proverbs 31:27 says "She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness."  Our homes do need to be a daily priority, our home should be an earthly picture of our Heavenly Home. "By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures." Proverbs 24:3-4
 

"Her Husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value." Proverbs 31:11


Do our husbands have full confidence in us? Do they know they can come home and find peace? Or is it Crazy and out of order? If it is like my house, there is a laundry pile in the laudry room that needs to be washed, a pile that needs to be folded and a pile that needs to be put away. I really do plan on getting to it. Then there is the kids toys that have made a trail through the whole house through out the day while we were busy doing school with the older children. Then there is the kitchen, Oh No, please not the kitchen! I do not understand why I can never keep up with the dishes. I fail everyday when it comes to organization. I fail my husband everyday and more importantly I fail My God everyday. His command in His Word is to manage the affairs of my household well. My husband works hard to provide all that we have, God has blessed my husband with the work and the ability to have all that we have. It is my job to manage it well. 

If my husband had the time everything would have a place. The house would be overly organized and would always be ready for company. My desire is to be obedient to the calling that Lord has placed on me, to be a Help-Meet to my husband. Knowing how the unorderliness drives him crazy, it is my pray that I can be more organized and have the home more peaceful.

 

"May the Favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; Establish the work of our hands for us- Yes, establish the work of our hands."  Psalm 90:17

About Me


"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." This is a great mystery- but I am talking about Christ and the church. However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband. Ephesians 5:31-33 This blog is dedicated to My Prince, the most wonderful husband! Thank you for all that you do for me and for this family. I am blessed to be your wife! Here I will blog my special blessings to him as well as encouragement to other wives to do the same for their husbands.
