This reminded me of learning your spouse's love language and "speaking" to them in it.

I fear I am not so great in this area of esteeming my husband, but am inspired to work on it.

What an excellent reminder for me to build up with my words...even though I know that life and death is in the power of the tongue, I still so very often find myself struggling in this area! Thanks for your encouraging post!

Medicine for my soul! Thank you. Very beautiful.

Hi Bonita, thanks for coming by to visit me and for your nice comments about my hutch. Many times things we already have around the house can be pressed into service that equals...charm...grin. Your post about studying our spouse to build them up hit a sore spot here. I had to go to the ER last week and hubby didn't/wasn't able? to show up. I'm starting to recover from my hurt feelings...a silly thing really but real none the less. My son was with me the whole time and gave me mega support. I know if he hadn't been my husband would have come. It doesn't take but a few moments in time for Satan and my sin nature to send little foxes to spoil the vine. I'm so glad the Lord is God! I praise Him with my whole heart...and your post will give me much thought for reflection. My husband is a wonderful to me and I love him passionately.(And he is born again) I just always want to see behind the closed door in his mind and ask my pointless questions of why? Does it really matter? no, not really. Because no answers are forthcoming most of the time. Perhaps my sharing this will help someone else...sort of getting prepared ahead of time emotionally and with faith....enough said! Hoping your day is full of blessings...

I think it is unanimous. We all want to visit Gary and Anne.
Hopefully we all learned something here and can become like them.
Sounds like you had a wonderful time.

This is beautifully written. I feel like I know Gary and Anne personally, and, like others, want to go visit and experience that same kind of love that you received.

When God shines through in others, it's OK to think about what they "do" and how they "do it." You can "people watch" and figure out what God doesn't want you to do, too.

Aren't people such interesting creations? I commented on another's blog recently that the world devalues the human being with their labels. Trying to pigeonhole folks into categories. Where's the love in that?

Thanks for sharing your special friends with all of us!

Oh Bonita - how wonderful to hear that your conference went well. I hope it was productive from a curriculum standpoint as well. I know you must have been exhausted, but what a delightful way to end your trip with such a haven of hospitality.
Welcome home!

Good words, Bonita. I'm really working on this in my home right now. I must confess to working on this more with my children than my sweet hubby. Thanks for the reminder.

What an incredible story. I am so glad you were able to see that couple in action. I love the thoughts on studying our loved ones. I am going to make an effort to do that.

Good Morning Bonita,

What a wonderful and thought provoking post...we all slip into being comfortable with our spouses don't we? I will think of you as I try to be more like Gary and Anne.

Have a "Wonderful Wednesday"

Blessings,
Kathi :-)
