Are You Thankful for the Father of Your Children?

This Father's Day is a great time to remind yourself of how thankful we should be for our husbands. I have been blessed with an AMAZING husband. He is so great with our kids and seeks to put God first in his life. However, no matter how great our husbands are all of us need a little reminder from time to time of how much we love them.

Remember what it was like when you could not wait to get married. The butterflies you had in your stomach when you were about to see him, or just longing to be with him when you had to separate after a date. How much you couldn't wait to talk to him even after you just spent all day with him.



Things are different now, but regardless of how you feel today you can pray and ask God to either restore or solidify your relationship. Marriage is not without hard work, but God does not call us to live an easy life. He does call us to live a life worthy of our calling Ephesians 4:1.

As David wrote, "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me." Psalm 51:10-11 We must constantly be checking our thoughts and when we find ungodly thoughts, we need to get rid of them quickly, and replace them with godly thoughts.  Romans 12:1 & 2.


For example, if your husband isn't doing what you think he should be in any category, remind yourself you are not his boss, God is. Cover him with loving thoughts because Love covers a multitude of sins I Peter 4:8. Ask God to renew a right spirit within you. Ps 51:10.

This same principle can be applied to any relationship in your life. Good, godly habits will help you feel much better.
