"Do Him Good"

 

Hello Ladies!  This month at our church, we are focusing on all aspects of the home.  It has already been a huge help and encouragement  to me!  As I was praying about what to write for this blog post, the Lord reminded me of Proverbs 31:12. "She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life".  This, of course, is speaking of the virtuous woman, and the manner in which she treats her husband.  Every single time I read this verse, I am challenged!  There are many times that I can get so busy with homeschooling, housework, or church functions, that I forget about making sure my husband is taken care of as well.  This verse is so simple in its wording, but sometimes so hard to practice!  "She will do him good...”.  When I want to complain about ironing his shirt as we are trying to walk out the door, I need to stop and think about how this is something I can do to be a help to him. I should not view it as an inconvenience!  I am pretty sure that as wives, we can all find one area that we KNOW would bless our husbands, if we would just be willing to love him in this practical, selfless way!  Here is a small list of ideas that maybe will help get us started!
  *Preparing the coffee the night before (in our house, this is THE job that neither of us enjoy  doing!)
  *Using the tablecloth that makes dinners feel a little more fancy
  *Buying strawberry jam, knowing it's his favorite, instead of what you would prefer.
  *Getting him a Snickers bar for in his lunch.  For no reason at all. 
  *Folding his shirts/matching his socks/etc. In that particular way he likes it done!

Okay,  now let's all find something  to  do  TODAY  that will "do him good!"
