It takes work - 24/7 - and it's so worth it. It has to come before ministry or we get all mixed up.<BR/>Great post!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08910644413175366761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-57375579056155437902008-07-04T02:18:00.000-04:002008-07-04T02:18:00.000-04:00This one hit home....thank you for sharing.

I know that I concentrate so hard on being a good mother (which I fail at frequently) that I think my hubby gets pushed to the back burner. And it's easy for me to think that he's ok with it because he's a "tough guy". Thank you SO much for this.Jackie https://www.blogger.com/profile/06689420082726915164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-79647773634521729402008-06-30T19:28:00.000-04:002008-06-30T19:28:00.000-04:00I love your humble spirit.

I thought of that Willie Nelson song as your bemused that I absolutely HATE: You Were Always on My Mind. Well, thanks buddy, but without action that means NOTHING! But finding the energy, the forsight, the focus and the timing to care for our husbands while doing all that we do. Well..it is hard. I have found that there are just a few things that mean a lot to hubby and as long as I address those he feels cared for! Thanks for the reminder to be sure not to forget the other pillar to the foundation of our family!luvmy4sonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10261302721883036680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-68750908789511371342008-06-30T15:32:00.000-04:002008-06-30T15:32:00.000-04:00I am so proud of you. what an incredible thing to...I am so proud of you. what an incredible thing to trust your God enough to be able to share something like this with your readers. <BR/>but you knew someone needed to hear it, so you shared. <BR/>and you are right, none of us are ever enough. Whenever we start feeling like "hey, I've got this stuff down pat!" that is the very time we should stop and fling ourselves to God's feet. We can't do it. None of us can. but HE can. and oh thank you Jesus for loving us enough and loving our families THROUGH us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
