Day 4 - I Corinthians 13
If anyone is reading my blog you might notice that my post is a little later than usual. My husband felt that I needed the extra rest, so he turned our alarm off last night. First let me say that he was right, my pregnant body was giving out last night, so his actions were well intentioned. However, I have recently been recruited to "open" our Women's Bible study, so that means I have to get my daughter to school, my son to his class and myself to our church---early! Not to mention the fact that I have committed to get up an hour early every day to spend time with God. So let's just say I wasn't in a Valentine mood this morning when I finally woke-up.
As I sit down to read this afternoon, I decided to read one of the most famous love passages--and it is convicting. I Corinthians 13 "Love is patient, love is kind. . .it is not rude or easily angered. . ." You know, when someone focuses on my last mistake or my shortcomings or my non-gifted areas, I'm really bothered! Especially if that person is my husband. Why can't he just notice all the good and thoughtful things I do??? Ouch.
Today, on Valentine's Day, I'm thankful for my husband and all his amazing, God-given qualities. He has never met a stranger. Life with him is NEVER boring. He if very fun. He is a visionary. He is discerning. He talks to me. (That is very important for a Communication Major.) He is Hot! and Sexy! He loves the Lord. He loves our children. He loves his family. He loves my family. He desires to do the will of God and struggles to figure that out! He is not intimidated by anyone. He is God's choice for my life, and I'm so glad.
He is many more things, but with both of my precious kids wanting to sit on my lap, my thoughts are hard to collect. . .
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. . .
