Yesterday at breakfast, I spilled a glass of milk – almost full it was. It landed on the table, the chair, the floor, me…  Upon thinking about it, I was very glad it didn’t land on my dog and/or cat! Also, because of who I am no swear word came to mind: none at all!

Selah.

There’s one big improvement that saints have over sinners!

But this writing is an “Advice For The Wife” because I want you to marry, stay married, and love your marriage like I do!

Selah.

“What’s so good about spilling milk?” you ask? “And what does that have to do with marriage? A good husband?”

Here it is: I’ve got the kind of man who immediately jumped up to help me!

I was soaking…  I was dripping…  First thing I had to do was change my clothes: four out five pieces had to go. As I concentrated on not dripping everywhere and more, Duane was doing the worst part! He even pulled the table open to get the crack while I changed!

Also: I was happy I could wear the same earrings and a pair of socks that were the same color as the milk-soaked ones!

Look for the joy of the Lord and stop claiming. And: never swear! But thank God for the things that didn’t happen

and

thank God for someone who loves you and serves you! Go and do the same!

Selah and amen!

 

 

Proverbs 3:3-4
Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man.

 

Ephesians 5:25-33
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word,  and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.  In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.  After all, no one ever hated their own body, but they feed and care for their body, just as Christ does the church—for we are members of his body.  “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.” This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church.  However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.

 

Romans 13:8
Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.
