Our husbands need our kindness. It's that gentle consideration and helpfulness that warms them and opens their spirit. I really think that God gave women a unique kind of grace and beauty and ability to be gentle and gracious (not that guys don't have those things, it's just that we have a feminine brand that guys hunger for). So the next time you talk to your husband, let gracious words fall off your tongue and the next time he needs some help, offer it with a smile and a gentle pat on the arm.
Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile.
Mother Teresa

Thank you for the reminder, as always! You rock!
ReplyDeleteAmen again! That's so true. Nothing says acts of kindness when we do it without them asking. The past couple days when my husband comes home, I'll make his plate have it warm & a cold drink. I get the biggest kiss. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteSO TRUE!!! I love a quote from an old TV show that I just read someone talking about onanother blog. The quote as so simple, yet so profound... "It's nice to be nice." I love that simple & humble TRUTH! Happy new year!
