This year I celebrated being with my husband in marriage for 34 years. What a wonderful thing to say that I have trusted, had confidence in and loved the man in my life that many years. Together we built a family that is strong and one that is a force in this world. Praise God that he held this marriage together as there were of course good days and bad, happy days and sad, days that I would rather forget and those that I will cherish forever. Together we have raised our own 6 children as well as countless others. We were blessed with 4 grand children , nieces and nephews and hopefully more to come.
One thing I was taught early on by a lady that I cherish and she may not be aware of how important she was to me. She accepted me into church when I felt I was the farthest away from God in my life. She taught me how to love my children enough to teach them about God , Pray for my husband daily as he is the head of the family and how to take time for myself to study the word of God. Recently I found this post and thought I would share it
Five ways I pray for my husband
Protection – this is far more than just getting him back home from work or errands. He needs a hedge of protection around his mind, eyes, ears, mouth, hands, and feet. His whole being needs to be protected from the things of the world. (I Peter 5:8, Ephesians 6:11-18)
Obedience to God – My husband needs to be obedient to God’s will for his life. Whatever God’s will is I pray that my husband will be willingly obedient to it. (Proverbs 3:5-6, James 4:17)
Leadership – God designed the husband to be the leader in the marriage and home. I pray that I am the kind of wife my husband can be that leader for; I don’t want to be a hindrance that causes him to not be able to lead. (Ephesians 5:23-25, I Peter 3:7)
Wisdom – My husband needs wisdom in everything. I pray that his heart and eyes are open to understanding and that he will continue to fear the Lord. (Proverbs 1:5-7, Ephesians 1:16-19)
Strength – My husband’s job requires strength, living a Christian life does too. I pray my husband’s physical strength will continue so he can work to his fullest. I also pray my husband's spiritual strength will be strong in the Lord in is daily life. (Ephesians 3: 16, Ephesians 6:10, Joshua 1:9)
I pray that God will be the center of our marriage. He is the only One we can truly depend on to keep ourselves pure and our marriage pure and together.
Beautiful tribute! Happy Anniversary to you both!
