I was disappointed when I was not able to make my post yesterday because of sitting in traffic well beyond midnight but it gave me time to just explore many pleasant thoughts about my marriage. I do a lot of reading about remaining in the present moment. So yesterday I was able to stay in the present moment by figuring out how to use my time and my mind during the moments of just sitting. I typically call on the Lord and ask, What is an appropriate use of both? Yesterday it was a time of reflection on what has transpired over the past several months since beginning this blog.
Yesterday I honored my husband by meditating on pleasant thoughts that kept me occupied with a smile on my face while we sat in traffic for way too many hours. Something I probably would not have done otherwise so I am grateful for the opportunity.
Wives of the world in what ways can you or do you honor your husband with pleasant thoughts? What do you think about when you have an opportunity to ponder on your marriage? Do you think about all the things your husband is not that you want him to be or do you think about all the great things he does or tries to do for you and your family? I love the line in the movie Pretty Woman when Julia Roberts says "It is easier to remember the bad things." I love that line because it is a constant reminder to me to always think about and remember the good because what we think about controls how we feel. If we think about the bad our husband's do we will feel bad and if we think about the good, we will feel good about them and ourselves. What pleasant thoughts can you bring to mind that will change (for the good) how you feel about your husband today.
Blessings,
Rochelle

:) As I've been told & remind myself often: God is in the delays (ie the traffic, the canceled appointment, and other obstacles that could potentially hinder us from moving as quickly as we want to!). Glad you were able to use the opportunity to focus on what is important instead of fume about something you can't change anyway!
