Learning to listen...

Good morning. I wanted to pop in to share what I and hubby read in our couple's devotion this morning.

Even when our spouses misbehave or create difficult situations for us, we're to tune in to God's still, small voice and ask, "What is it you want me to learn from this? How are you stretching me at this time? What are you trying to do in my soul?".

Are you seeing how God can use the challenges of marriage to help us learn to listen to Him? In the heat of the moment, we often overlook this. It's often painful but so necessary for our own spiritual growth. Here's one last thought:

"God uses the challenges of marriage to teach us about ourselves. He uses our spouses to teach us how the other gender thinks and reacts. He uses marriage to give us perspective, and perhaps even a new outlook."

 *This is a quote from "Devotions for a Sacred Marriage" by Gary Thomas

TSW Daybook~ February 2019 edition

For Today: 2/4/19

_____________________________

Looking out my window

It’s cloudy and raining. Our high for today is 65 degrees.

I am thinking

About a lot of stuff. Got so much on my mind.

I am thankful

For my hubby. He’ll celebrate his 43rd birthday next week on the 15th.

One of my favorite things

Hershey’s bar with almonds. YUM!

I am creating

A seasonal menu plan. My plan is to have 6-week rotational dinner menus for each season.

I am wearing

A striped light blue and white shirt and khakis pants.

I am reading

Getting ready to start a new Bible Study (with the ladies from an online group). This time we are doing 1 Corinthians.

I’m watching

I’ve started watching the “Pride and Prejudice” T.V. series that aired years ago. I have only watched episode 1 so far.

I’m listening to

Nothing but raindrops on the roof at the moment.

I am hoping

I get around to shredding up some old mail and papers we need to get rid of. Got to keep the clutter down.

I am learning

Continuously learning to just trust God and casting all my cares on Him.

In my kitchen

Having my morning smoothie before I head out the door. This one is peanut butter banana.
YUM!

Board room

I recently came across some pins with monthly Purge lists that look interesting.

Do you know the true meaning of the term Social Justice?

This time of year everyone will be focusing on "Black" History Month. We hear so much about Social Justice. Do we really understand the meaning behind this term? Listen carefully as Voddie explains the truth behind this terminology.
