Praying for Your Husband- Thankfulness

Praying for Your Husband

Are you thankful for your husband? If so, do you tell him you are thankful for him? Do you thank God for him when you pray? OR do you gripe and complain to your husband about all the things he doesn't do right? Do you nag and tear him down by the tone of your words? The Bible instructs believers to build each other up by choosing words that encourage others. That includes our husbands! This week, make the time to thank your husband for all he does. If you can't think of anything that he has done lately, maybe you need to take some time and recall all he has done in the past and is doing today. Make a list. You will be amazed when you write them down! Even the little things count too! Don't forget to write those down as well! Choose to be an encourager to your husband, not a discourager!

“Don't use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.”
                             Ephesians 4:29 (NLT)

             Thankfulness in Action

• Make him his favorite meal as a surprise!
• Write down all the things he does that you are thankful for and put it on a card.
• Give him a thankful note each day this week!
• Write a note of thankfulness and tape it on his dashboard.
• Text him in the middle of the day and let him know you are thankful for something he did that morning or during the week. (Be looking for things each day to be thankful for!!)
• Tape a "I'm thankful for you!" on his coffee mug as he leaves for the day. (He won't expect that!)
