Did you tell your husband or wife that you were thinking about them yesterday? :-)
How did he or she react? Were they pleasantly surprised or did they behave indifferently? If you did not receive a reaction or received a less than favorable reaction, I encourage you to prayerfully consider the reasons behind their response. More in depth consideration is likely necessary. Don't put it off.
"And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise." Luke 6:31
This is the scriptural reference to the phrase known by many as "do unto others..." also know as "The Golden Rule." We can apply this to all people and areas of our lives, but today, we are specifically going to apply this to our spouses. For today's challenge, we are going to demonstrate our love for our spouses through action.
Today, do something that your spouse would normally be the one to take care of so that they don't have to today. Big or small doesn't matter, we're performing a simple act of service. Bathe a kid, take out the trash, mow the lawn, pay a bill - whatever! Sky's the limit so be creative!!! Just be sure to commit yourself to doing this today!
I took out the trash for my husband. Which was a lot for me because first I had to go pick all of it up - neighbor's dogs had torn it all up and spread it all across the lawn: three large cans worth!
ReplyDeleteThat was very nice of you! Sorry about the neighbors dogs, yuck.
