Welcome to my Blog

I Will Honor My Husband blog site began as a wife's journey to love, honor and cherish her husband everyday for one full year in 2011. The experience was so awesome that I am continuing the journey. As the Lord guides me I will continue to post about how I am honoring my husband on at least a weekly basis. This blog is for me and other wives to learn how to be more intentional in demonstrating our love, honor and respect for our husbands in a way that matters to them most. Last year it was a challenge and a goal to make it a habit, this year I hope to realize the habit as a way of life. I welcome, encourage and invite you to - Join the Movement! and let the world know you honor your husband.

My prayer is that marriages and lives will be changed across the globe by the expression of "One Year of Love". Please send me a picture of you and your husband so the world will know you have joined the movement.

Day 216 Honoring My Husband With Regret

Today was one of those days where nothing went as planned.  My intentions were to start my day early,  run my errands, pack for my conference tomorrow and spend the evening with Bryan. Well as the saying goes, the best laid plans do not always come to fruition.  I had failed to account for a coaching session I had today, so that set me back a bit and I grossly underestimated how much time it would take to get my hair done.  All that being said, at the end of the day I was not positioned to spend a quiet evening with Bryan as planned. 

Today I am honoring my husband with a great sense of regret.  I really wish I had done a much better job of estimating my time and had not forgotten about the session that was on my calendar.  I got home pretty late and instead of spending the evening together, I spent the evening preparing for the event tomorrow which as everything else went today, that took much longer than anticipated.  Our printer kept going on the brinks, my computer was acting up, and we ran out of ink.  Just about everything that could go wrong did and I am sitting with sadness even as I type today's post.  I truly wanted to have everything all ready for tomorrow, relax in Bryan's arms this evening and be ready physically, mentally and emotionally for tomorrow.  Today I am honoring my husband with regret for not doing a better job of planning my time and my day.  I know he was just as disappointed as I am.  I am so glad joy cometh in the morning.

Wives of the world in what ways have you honored your husband with regretful feelings? When have your intentions been filled with possibility only to be shot down by your own unintentional doing?  With all that transpired today the one thing I wanted to make very clear, is to let Bryan know of my huge regret for the evening not working out as planned.  Although a sorry can never take the place of our presence, acknowledgement of the error of our ways can help heal a wounded spirit.  How do you need to honor your husband with regret today?  Please share your stories with us; we would love to hear from you.

Blessings,

Rochelle
