Thankfulness in Marriage.
.

What a wonderful topic to discuss today at the well. We are a group of ladies who meet each Monday

and share the thing we have learned in life.

Exploration:

Thankful - Adjective

conscious of benefit received, glad.

glad - adjective

having a cheerful or happy disposition, experiencing pleasure.

Inspiration:

"Be happy when God answers your prayers, but be more thankful when God makes you the answer to someone elses prayer."

Let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Col 3:15

It is hard to let the peace of God rule in your heart when you are married to a man who loves water and you are terrified of it. I have always liked to go to the beach and enjoy the waves and dance around in the waters. I knew Larry, in the past had owned a sail boad and had sailed around the Carribean. He announced to me one summer, "We are going to Destin and take sailing lessons." Instead of panicing I went to the local jem and signed up for swimming lessons. I did not tell Lary what I was doing. I wanted it to be a supprise. Time came for our trip, me with a smile on my face and the peace of knowing I could save my self, if worse came to worse. We got to Destin just after a hurricane had blowen through. The waves swelled 10 to 12 feet high. We had so much fun playing in the surf. When we got back to the condo we had rented, I asked Larry to come with me to the swimming pool. I waded into the pool like always, then went under water and swim all the way to the other side. I wish you could have seen the look on his face. Where did you learn to swim like that, I was proud to say I had been taking lessons. The next day we took our first sailing lesson. I LOVED IT.

Had he hadnot been adventures I would have missed out on so many wonderful things. So the question we are to discuss today is WHAT ARE SOME THINGS YOU CAN PUBLICITY THANK GOD FOR, IN RELATION TO YOUR HUSBAND. he has stretched me in so many ways it would take hours to tell all. His love for new adventures.....keeps me wondering what is next I have said no to flying an airplane...but that did not stop him.......I can not talk to confident I may be flying over your house one day.

INSPIRATION:

Thankfulness is to marriage as oil is to an engine. It needs to be applied liberally and throughout and is of such importance, that a fresh supply must be added regularily and longgevity.
