and I get to kiss ouchies, hear about their days & dreams, I get to be the keeper of knowledge of their little bodies noting changes in bowel movements and spirits. God has blessed me with my hands full. So proudly, I tell these strangers, Yes, yes I do.
At the grocery store yesterday with my two sons 3 & 6. I had at least 3 people say “you’ve got your hands full.” The boys weren’t misbehaving just playing garbage truck and the food we were buying was the garbage yet it sounded like a negative comment..
I’m a single mom & their dad doesn’t live close so I’m on mom duty 24/7 as it should be. I’m lucky. Are my hands full? Yes, you bet they are! They are holding two little hands as we walk in public places, as they fall asleep, my hands hold toys and snacks
The relationship between husband & wife is metaphor of Gd's relationship w/humanity.
This is because G-d gives unconditionally, outcome independent, and is only concerned about what is good for us.
Try it in your own relationship - in some small way - and see what happens!
Marriage is about enjoying the best in someone and finding compassion and forgiveness for their worst. If you can’t handle their worst with compassion and forgiveness, you’ll never fully enjoy the best. Don’t let resentment and hurt ruin your #marriage
Be the person you'd like to be married to. If you'd like a little more grace for your faults, give a little more grace for theirs. If you need more love and understanding, give more love and understanding to your spouse.
Husbands, be intentional at getting to know your wife in every area … not just sexually. Get to know her emotionally, mentally and spiritually as well.
Success in marriage isn't just measured by years together, but also by the quality in those years. Be deliberate in building a GREAT marriage, not just a long one.
The acknowledgment and recognition of where their behavior patterns come from, and the ensuing empathy, only can come after your processing of the pain and sorrow it caused you.
Else, you cheat yourself the ability to heal and move on.

Without choices children grow up to be immature, without consequences irresponsible, without compassion irate and without conviction insecure.
It is our responsibility to raise our children by example, not by words alone. #parenting#proverbs#sermonnotes
