Todays verse: "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers." Eph. 4:29
Todays challenge is again to remind wives to build your husband up to others. I have been doing wonderful at this in passing to friends and really becoming aware of what I say... not that I ever had a bad thing to say about my husband :) The challenge went a bit deeper today and said that I should contact my MIL and tell her how much and why I love her son. The bond between a mother and son is a very strong bond and it is important that his family know how much you love their son. One the other hand you should also explain to your father why and how much you love your husband. I know personally how strong a bond is with a girl and her Daddy. He needs to know that the man who is now taking care of you and the grand babies is a man worthy of the task. It is hard for parents to let go of their children but that can be easier if parents know the ones that they are letting their children go to.
How did I do this?? Well when I call my MIL we ALWAYS start gabbing and get way off track!!! (Were women, what else can I say!!) So I decided to e-mail her. As I began I realized that this may take days to accomplish since finding the right words is harder then I thought. Emotions are strong and I can't find the words that compare!! I then figured out that My Dad is also getting an e-mail for the same reasons!! I have been crying for an hour trying to write one!!! It is amazing how much love your heart can hold and how much stronger that love becomes when you see your husband transform into a father! I hope you all do this too, even if you never send the letters/e-mails, try and write one. I think this would be a wonderful thing to do if you are a mother who has already given your son to another... write to your MIL with the experience you already have.
Thanks for reading!!
