Today Larry finally catches up with me----since I am 7 months older. I would say who's counting but he reminds me of this occasionally. My rejoinder is usually a comment about the older woman "mystique." Our approaches are different but the fact remains that I was born first. Our approaches are different to a lot of things and over the years we have become more alike than different in our particular ways. One thing we have come to an agreement on relates to “gifting.” Larry, the real shopper in the family, is a lavish as well as a thoughtful gift giver. I, on the other hand, have trouble in this area. So, the agreement is one of grateful acceptance---regardless of the gift.
I do have a little something in a gift bag for him to “open.” But, the real gift idea came from prayer group friend, Anne, to friend Lo, to me. Her exact words were better but since I wrote them on a post it note while downstairs, and lost them before I could even walk upstairs to the computer, you, reader, will get the gist of her idea along with what God has shown me.
“Give the gift of prayer to your husband.” Praying for my hubby today that God will:
• Enlarge his heart with gratitude.
• Guard his heart.
• Fill him with His love.
• Instill integrity.
• Enable him to find joy in His Presence.
• Surround him with godly men.
• Allow him to know how deeply he is loved by Thee and by me.
• Guard his heart.
• Fill him with His love.
• Instill integrity.
• Enable him to find joy in His Presence.
• Surround him with godly men.
• Allow him to know how deeply he is loved by Thee and by me.
