The 30 Day Husband Encouragement Challenge for Wives

Hello again! Last time I wrote, I was talking about FlyLady, and my 28 days of baby steps to develop good routines and a neat and tidy home. Things have been going great, I have been following the morning, afternoon, and evening routines and it has made life so much more pleasant! The one thing that has made the most different is shining my sink...trying to keep a clean sink with all dirty dishes washed as soon as possible. It was rough for about a week to make sure the dinner dishes were done before I went to bed, but it is getting easier and I LOVE waking up to a clean kitchen and having all clean dishes when I go to make Mark breakfast! I'm about halfway through the 28 days and I couldn't be happier with the results. In fact, yesterday Mark stopped by the house with someone he works with out of the blue and I didn't freak out because I wasn't ready for company or because the house wasn't tidy, I was happy to have company and it felt great! So, in light of how great FlyLady is working, I heard about a new challenge. The 30 Day Husband Encouragement Challenge from www.reviveourhearts.com/challenge/ the rules are that for the next 30 days: - You can't say anything negative about your husband..to your husband...or to anyone else, about your husband. - Say something you admire or appreciate about your husband...to your husband..and to someone else, about your husband! In addition to those two main guidelines, everyday you receive an email with a special task for the day to encourage your husband. It makes me think of Proverbs 31:11-12 "The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he has no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life." That is really my heart's desire, and I am hoping that I can use these next 30 days (and even after that) to really work on encouraging my husband! :) Wish me luck....I started today and I have 29 days left! Oh boy...
