Wife & Kids

We were in Wal-Mart in Anderson this last weekend and saw someone we knew and she said to me….”I miss reading your blog…”  I told her that I have been busier than normal and I will get back to it.  I have missed writing and I am going to try to get back to my once a week or once every ten days routine of blogging…

What can I say!

I unpacked some book s in my office this morning and found an “Utmost for His Highest” journal.  It was cool to go back and look at some of the things I had written 9 years ago. Here is what I wrote on July 3rd 2000.

“Today my parents would have celebrated their 40th anniversary.  What an awesome marriage they had.  Thank you God for allowing me to have a Godly example in a marriage to follow.  Thanks Dad for loving Mom so much and treating her like the queen at our house.”

Wow, I can only pray that my kids will be able to say the same about me one day.

Guys, if you don’t treat your wife like a queen..YOU ARE WRONG….”Husbands love your wives as Christ loved the Church”

Ladies, if he is not treating you like a queen, start trying to treat him like a king…..when he realizes that you are doing that he might start seeing you as a queen…after all, If he is a king, then his wife is the queen.

I remember my youth pastor’s wife always saying…..”When I get mad at him for something that he has done, I duck and let God hit him”.

I guess there may be a little wisdom in that.  I have talked to a couple of friends lately that have come to realize that marriage is not some easy task that will work itself out…IT TAKES WORK…….DAILY !!!!!!

Yes, I have a passion for strong marriages and strong families.  Without those two things, the children coming out of those families will be weak and hurt.  Work on it….your marriage is worth saving….it is worth so much that God established it….don’t short change yourself….you can work it out…..but only if you are willing to work at it….

My wife treats me like a King…..I pray that she feels like the queen I think she is……

Have a great week!
