Day 26 - 30 day husband/partner encouragement challenge

“And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.” Luke

2:52

If you have faithfully encouraged your husband, you will no doubt have seen some

changes in his life…and your own life, as well. Encouragement is a wonderful habit that

we hope you will continue for the rest of your life.

The important thing is to keep growing in Christ and obeying the Word of God as you

respond to your husband. As you consider today how to bless your husband and not

tear him down, think of ways that you can encourage balance in your home.

Jesus led a balanced life. He grew mentally, physically, spiritually, and socially. As you

see your husband branching out in these areas, is there a pattern of growth? Is your

husband striving for balance in his life? If so, let him know you have noticed, and ask

how you can further encourage that balance.

If your husband is out of balance - focusing on one area to the exclusion of the others -

consider whether there are things you can do to help restore or create balance in his

life. Can you encourage times for sports or exercise? Keep the children quiet for a study

time? Invite friends over for dinner? Stimulate his mind?

Be sure you are working toward balance in your own life, as well. Be an example!

I believe that some people are called to Christ through the way they see you living your own life.  As well as praying for Mr Wonderfuls salvation.  I try to live as Jesus would want me to in the hope that one day Mr Wonderful will get saved.

We should invite people for dinner more often.  That is something I must try to work on.

I try to keep the boys out of the study when Mr Wonderful is trying to work in there.
