MHR Inspiration #9

Hey everybody!!! Sorry I've been so sporadic lately! We've been reeling about our fantabulous vacation, getting ready for my parents to be here this weekend, working a lot of hours, and wowza, it's been kind of crazy! :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In order to make up for that, I have TWO articles for us this week!

I Believe in You!
by Gary Smalley

and

A Time to Laugh
by Erin Smalley


Both of these articles were on MarriagePartnership, a branch of Christianity Today's website. In the first one, Gary talks about learning about his wife's goals and dreams, and the second one is all about keeping the laughter in your marriage.

Prompt/Theme for Friday, February 6, 2009

We have a couple of different options for this week:

1. Tell us about some of the things that you and your husband do to just have fun together!

2. Tell the story of a memory about your husband that brings you a smile and a giggle every time you think about it!

3. Give us your best, most creative Valentine's Day gifts (and yes, this one is a shameless way to use your creativity to help me come up with a Valentine's Day gift, lol!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Challenges:

~ Set an appointment with your hubby to have a "goals and dreams" talk as described in the first article.

~ If you already know some of your husbands goals and dreams, be intentional about encouraging him and helping him to reach them.

Hope you have all been having a great week! Looking forward to hearing all about things that make us laugh and smile tomorrow!
