A Wives Prayer

In the name of Jesus, I cultivate inner beauty, the gentle, gracious kind that God delights in. I choose to be a good, loyal wife to my husband and address him with respect. I will not be overanxious and intimidated. I purpose to be, by God's grace, agreeable, sympathetic, loving, compassionate, and humble. I will be a blessing and also receive blessings.

By the grace of God, I yield to the constant ministry of transformation by the Holy Spirit. I am being transformed into a gracious woman who retains honor, and a virtuous woman who is a crown to my husband. I purpose to walk wisely that I may build my house. Houses and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a purdent wife is from the Lord. In Christ, I have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which He made to abound toward me in all wisdom and prudence.

Holy Spirit, I ask You to help me understand and support my husband in ways that show my support for Christ. Teach me to function so that I preserve my own personality while responding to his desires. We are one flesh, and I realize that this unity of persons that preserves individuality is a mystery, but that is how it is when we are united to Christ. So I will keep on loving my husband and let the miracle keep happening!!!

Just as my husband gives me what is due me, I seek to be fair to my husband. I share my rights with my husband.

Strength and dignity are my clothing, and my position in my household is strong. My family is in readiness for the future. The bread of idleness (gossip, discontent, and self-pity) I will not eat. I choose to conduct the affairs of my household wisely, realizing that wisdom from above is pure, peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Amen.

Chocolate Milk

OK... about the heading....CHOCOLATE MILK?....

Did you ever pour a glass of milk and put some chocolate in the glass?Well where does the chocolate go?...To the bottom... right?And if you take a sip of it with out stirring it up. You might get a small taste of chocolate. But not the full taste until you stir it up...Right? Get the pictire?

Now... The Bible say in 2 Timothy 1:6...To stir up the gift of God that is with in you....in 2Corinthians 4:7 says but we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us!

OK... the analogy is this....Just like the milk ....we have a hint of God in us because we are Christians.... the Spirit of God abiding in us as a well spring of life....But when you pray and stir up the Holy Spirit then you have the fullness of the Spirit of God within you! Like Jesus said... out of your bellies shall flow rivers of living water. So we can go from "wellspring to rivers" a big difference!!!
Then you can say what David said in Psalms 34:8...O TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD IS GOOD!!!

Well just a little something for you to.... chew on... LOL! Let me know what you think!
