Challenge #18

Think of how nice it is to hear nice things about yourself. I heard something nice about myself today and it really encouraged me and put a smile on my face. We should want to do that for others, especially for our spouses. Often, I have found that I succeed in encouraging my friends and family, but fail at encouraging my spouse. What does it matter if you are so many good things to so many people, but you are a thorn in the side or a discouragement to the one who is closest to you? What would your husband/wife say about you? I hope they would call you a ray of sunshine on an otherwise dark and stormy day.



Today's challenge is about your facial expression. Smile. Yes, right now - smile. Your spouse probably loves your smile. They probably find it very appealing and attractive. It is likely something that draws them to you - or atleast it did in the past when you used it more often!

Make it a point to show your gorgeous smile to your spouse today. And have the positive attitude to back it up! Smiles are infectious and most people can't resist smiling back when you smile at them. Give it a try! And no matter what goes on today, remember: there are greater trials than those that you face. Thank God for a new day and a new opportunity today.
