Engaging in Marriage
by: Minister Gail Adams
I am sorry I am so tired and unenthusiastic today my husband. Ahh, my Chocolate Sundae Love, I am full as a tick and happy that you feed me a delicious meal despite how you are feeling. Me feeling otherwise, would be purely selfish.
It is said that you can tell how a cook is feeling by the taste of their dish. I am glad my food tasted better than I was feeling today. This is an almost to tired to cook meal. They say rainy days and Mondays get you down but I beg to differ, any day can. Despite how I was feeling, I pushed through me, loving past myself to serve my husband.
๐ While eating dinner my beautiful husband expressed to me repeatedly how much he loves me, how blessed he was to have me in his life, how he had found favor with God through me and how delicious my Homemade Cheesy Brats Green Onion Sausage Bread was. ๐ Listening to his sweet endearments, I felt the fatigue of the day melt away. His words were like a sweet honeycomb balm to my soul.
"How delightful is a timely word." Proverbs 15:23
๐ Life is not always happy go lucky. You are going to have some down days too. When you have those down days, avoid negative people as they will further add to your fatigue.
Midway through dinner, my husband revealed how tired he had felt throughout the day and wanted to leave work and come home. But he pushed through it saying "If a man does not work, he does not eat."
He then jokingly said, "I never wanna missed having one of your delicious meals my wife. So, a brother gotta work to pay the food bill". We enjoyed dinner, laughing, joking, and teasing each other. All the merriment of the evening was good for our hearts like medicine and we no longer felt tired .
๐ "Maybe we need to stop keeping each other up at night," I said. Never, he replied. ๐ Again, we went to bed late. My husband said, "We are going to pay for this tomorrow." I replied, "Yep, we are. No matter how tired I am tomorrow, I will feed you, okay". My wife, "No matter how tired I am tomorrow, I will go to work to provided for you. Good night my wife. Good night my husband". Oh, let's pray first.
Soul Love does not think only of itself. It is loving past yourself to serve others. Anything else would be purely selfish. My beautiful husband and I do not have time for ish.
Push through whatever is trying to get you down today. Surround yourself with positive people who share and demonstrate soul love. The uplifting feeling of love will be as a soothing balm bringing peace and energy to get you through your day.
Let all that you do be done with love. (1 Corinthians 16:14)๏ปฟ
