5 ways to love your husband

I thought this was the perfect way to follow Mondays post. Thank you all so very much for sharing your words, encouragement and stories with me. It was truly a scary blog to write, but I have been given so much confirmation since then that it was the right story at the right time. I always love how God moves when we allow him to use us. I am humbled and inspired by you and I value each of you greatly!

So in the same vein, here are some great ways we as wives can love our husbands....




How do you show your husband love? (let's keep it clean folks!) ;)

That is a good day!

I hadn't planned on writing today, but while I was doing some leadership research this morning for my business, I came across a quote that I had to share with you. It wasn't what I'd set out to look for and honestly, can't quite figure out how it came into my search, but that only leads me to believe that I was supposed to read this today.

As a stay at home mommy who is trying to balance her home and her business, I easily get caught up in the 'to dos' of the day. Some days, those to do's get done and some days they don't. Some days I feel successful in the roles I play and some days I don't.

In this quote, Jim Valvano is so right. At the end of the day, if we have laughed, used our minds and cried, we have had a successful day!

Yes, maybe that means the laundry didn't get folded.. Maybe it means the dishes are still  in the sink from lunch. Maybe you have 100 emails you need to reply to. But maybe it means you did more listening, more dancing, more tickling, more sharing, more encouraging, more laughing, more thinking, more crying.

So while I'm working diligently on creating lists in the morning of the things I need to accomplish that day and will work to get them done, I need to be reminded that I'm in the process of growing children, loving my husband, following my Savior and leading my team. If by the end of the day, my entire to do list is checked off, fantastic! But if it's not and I've accomplished those 3 things Jim shared, I do believe I can lay my head down knowing that I've had one heck of a day!
