Dare for Day 2

Love is kind... Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ has forgiven you. Ephesians 4:32

Today's dare was in addition to say nothing negative to your spouse today, do at least one unexpected gesture of kindness today.

Although I was feeling completely under the weather today and was home most of the afternoon, I decided to have dinner ready when Ben got home. It seems so often I take for granted the fact that Ben is such a wonderful husband and is always doing the cooking and much of the house work. I rarely have the opportunity to surprise him and give him a break. So today was that special day. I am not sure that I can express to him how much I appreciate all that he does, but I am sure that words will never be enough, so I will continue thorough my actions to try and exceed his expectations as well.

Thank you lord for being so gracious and allowing me to have such a wonderful husband. I only hope that we can share what we learn as an ambassador for others to follow.


Today's scripture reminded me that the Lord forgives me with such a tender heart and never passes judgement on me. Ben and I have struggled with our feelings about the way that our daughter reacted in the past few weeks. It is so important that we remind ourselves that Christ loves us unconditionally and we also should have that unconditional love for our daughter. Thank you Lord for my beautiful children.

For I will be merciful and gracious toward their sins and I will remember their deeds of unrighteousness no more.Hebrews 8: 12

  1. Christi...you are so in the right track and I am SO proud of you! I see such great strides in your relationship with Christ just through your writing. Praise God! Just remember...even through the tough times... Sorrow may last for the night, but joy comes with the morning! Psalm 30:5
