Forgiveness is hard, I know. Remember, we agreed to take this day by day. So every day is a new day with a clean slate. Practice your forgiveness this way as well! Ephesians 4:26 reminds us to "Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath." So whatever anger you may have, let it be brief and rid yourself of it quickly. If it happened yesterday, do NOT allow it to spill over into today!
Today's challenge will be simple (to make up for yesterday's difficult challenge which has to be done daily)!
It's the weekend and we all have our things that we want and like to do during our time off from our regular routine. Today, defer your own wants to your spouse's. Put their wants before your own today. Notice the word "wants." We are not talking about needs here; we are specifically talking about desires. If your spouse wants to sleep in, watch the game, visit a friend, or take the kids wherever - encourage and support them today. Don't do this begrudgingly! Allow them to enjoy themselves today.
So needed to hear this today. Saturdays can be stressful at our house...I have a to-do list and after working 50+ hours all week he likes to relax a a little more than me!
ReplyDeleteWe like to catch up on our "honey do" lists on Saturdays too :-) But truth be told - we would all probably enjoy this time more if we spent it relaxing together! Thank you for your comment!
