Day 19 - Honoring My Husband Through Companionship

Today I am honoring my husband through companionship.  The work that we do is so different.  My work requires me to be in front of the computer and his work requires him to be out and about.  He typically works on Saturday's and I am usually doing school work or working on my business after taking care of house work. Today Bryan needed to pick up some supplies for one of our properties.  Earlier in the week, he had been hinting around at me accompanying him on the trip.  Initially I thought about all the things I could get done while he takes this journey, but in the spirit of honoring my husband I decided to go along for the ride.  It was a beautiful ride through the countryside of Pennsylvania and gave us an opportunity to talk and just be.  Yet again the Lord knows exactly what he is doing with this journey of mine.

So today, I honor my husband through companionship and put his unsolicited and indirect request for my presence before my desire to go about today's business as usual.  I honored him with companionship and was blessed by his sense of enjoyment to have me along for the ride and the beautiful sense of warmness that ran through me as I felt him watching me with a smile.  I honored him with companionship believing I was satisfying a desire of his and yet I was the one blessed.  I think this is an example of the dreaded word "submission". Our God is so good!
