day nine.......30 day challenge

I don't want to blame PMS, but yesterday was my hardest day, yet!  I really had to work to keep my mouth SHUT to negative comments.... I will admitt the tone of my voice wasn't always positive! Thank God for GRACE!!!!!  His Mercy is new every morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, here is to a new day!!!!!  Another day to be a blessing to our husbands and marriage. I like to listen to midday connection (moody) and yesterday's program was very relavent to our challenge.  Check it out...(midday)... you can listen online anytime!!!! (program date: 4/23/07) Have a BLESSED day!!! Heather Indiana Country Girl ______________________________________ From Nancy Leigh DeMoss: Day Nine: "...be swift to hear, slow to speak..." James 1:19b We are often so busy speaking that we don't take time  to listen. We are so quick to offer a comment - negative or positive - that we don't really "hear" our husband's heart. Remember: we have two ears and only one mouth. We  need to listen more! As you continue in your 30-day challenge, not speaking negatively and focusing on positive encouragement, hear the Lord's admonition today: "Be swift to hear." If listening is a real problem for you, play a game with yourself. See if you can listen to your husband for one whole day, only speaking when asked a question. If your husband notices the difference, explain that you are learning to listen  more-not only to God, but also to him. One easy way to express admiration for your husband is to ask a question about something he enjoys, and then listen to his response. If it's an area of personal familiarity, keep asking questions until you learn something you didn't know, then tell him, "Wow, I didn't know that!"
