Day 56 - Lost and Found!

Good morning everyone! Been crazy busy at work this week and finally have a slow day at the office to get some projects done! I woke up early again today, even though I could've slept in late but took a shower and headed off to work. Mya was at the bus stop waiting for her bus so I stopped and invited her to breakfast and then I would drop her off at school. She was hesitant because her friend Matt would be left alone on the bus but he was sick and couldn't go to school today. So off to the diner we went, talking the whole time. Had an amazing breakfast with my daughter, talked about God, talked about school, talked about life! Dropped her off at school and just spending that little extra time with her has made my day when she asked if we could do this once a week! As she was leaving the car she said "OOOPS" and leaned back in to kiss me and say I love you dad! (melt)
I've been spending alot of time at work this past week and with the kids when I got home. For the first 50 nights I would spend time with my wife outside on the deck  talking about our day, our worries, our problems, our love, our EVERYTHING! And it has been amazing. This past week lift got in the way and I was so worried about being there for the kids I forgot to be there for my wife. You see, we NEED that time every night to just talk without letting LIFE get in the way! Doesn't every husband and wife need that time?
AMEN?

1 Peter 3:7

 Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.

I cannot emphasize  enough the importance of daily time with your spouse and with God. We always have time to watch our favorite TV shows, or post on social media or read a book but are we doing enough with our wive's/husband's? And if we are, are we spending that time together wisely? Or does it feel like an obligation of do you lose things to talk about? When you bring God into your conversation and apply HIS works to your life, there is never a moment of silence, there is no feeling of obligation, you are now spending you TIME wisely. You see, there are many scriptures in the bible that tells us God wants spouses to be together. To spend time together. To pray together and to parent together. In most verses, TOGETHER is the main topic!

Ephesians 5:28

28 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

Ephesians 5:31

31 “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”

Now tonight, I will be bible studying with Kim on the following verse:

1 Timothy 2:12

I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. (Just kidding Kim)

The moral of today's story is LOVE YOUR WIFE. Don't forget that our wive's need us! We are the men of the house! Just because we are home with them doesn't mean we are WITH them? AMEN?

However, let each one of you love his wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
