Bryan Carter said that "Differences are God's way of sanding off our rough edges." You may say to yourself now 'yes my spouse is definitely abrasive...' lol! But you will be wise to learn that it is actually an awesome blessing to us how different from our spouse most of us are. Where we are weak, they are strong and vice versa. There are so many areas of differences between us in so many ways - we are truly complementary. We are made to fit together and support one another. And when we put our strengths together instead of focusing on each other's weaknesses, we make a wonderful team! It really boggles the mind when you think about it. Frequently remind yourself not to hate the differences, but cherish the differences. Appreciate the differences. Thank God for the differences!
I saw this yesterday and we spoke briefly last night as to how true this simple statement is: "If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning... Face it, friend. He is crazy about you!" ― Max Lucado
The weather is getting great where we are and it is so beautiful outside. So often, we forget that the things we most frequently take for granted are truly gifts from God. Every good thing in our lives is a gift from God! Today's challenge is to enjoy some time outside reflecting on your many gifts from God. Share a sunset with your spouse and talk about how blessed you are to have them as your life-long companion amongst your other many blessings.
