| Sometimes the best advice comes from home. |
I contacted Bryan to let him know of my plans and I could hear him humming and hawing without directly saying what was on his mind so of course I asked him. He then stated he did not think I should waste money on a hotel because I was probably going to want to do something else to celebrate the weekend and my accomplishment and he was correct. I shared with him why I was going to get a hotel and he then proceeded to remind me of another family member that lives alone and would be able to provide accommodations meeting my requirements. To make a long story short, he made the connection and so I stayed with his family member I am really glad I did.
Today I honored my husband by taking his advice. Typically I am the one saying what he or I should or should not be doing when it comes to spending money, so it was nice to have him looking out for me in that respect. I did appreciate not having to spend the extra money and used it on myself to celebrate after the exam was over. I love it when God uses our mates to meet needs we don't even know we have until after the fact.
Wives of the world how can or do you honor your husband's advice? Is there something he has been trying to get across but you have been ignoring him? The Lord says "plans fail for the lack of counsel" and often times we have it right in our hands through our mates but we choose not to take it. The next time your husband offers advice, remember the I in C.H.A.I.R.S. which stands for Insight and his desire to provide counsel. He does not have this desire for nothing it was given to him by the Lord. How can you honor his advice today? Please share your stories with us; we would love to hear from you.
Blessings,
Rochelle
