Amazing Grace

I don't really have that much to say,  except that this week I have been so aware of the grace of God.  Some days I can't believe that He would even care about me after all the things that I have done in my life.  It really is AMAZING GRACE!!

Prayerful Wives

This topic has been on my heart for quite awhile,  and I know what I'm about to share has been shared before.  When God created man he looked around and saw that all the animals had partners,  but man was alone.  He was lonely,  there was something missing.  God saw this need and created woman (Genesis 1:20-24).  Out of MAN God created the woman,  and they were joined together in marriage.  I think this has a deeper meaning than what appears on the surface.  God could have created the woman out of the dust just as he did the man.  He could have made just another man to be a companion to the first man.  But no,  God created woman because there was a need only the woman could fulfill.  And this brings me to my point.  God created us women to be the missing piece in our husbands lives.  We are called to support them and help them be the leader in our home both physically and spiritually. We can do this is through prayer.  We send our husbands out in the morning Monday through Friday into the world to make a living.  They do their work and encounter a lot of people in one day.  They hear and see things that we as wives don't have to deal with.  I believe we as wives have a huge responsiblity to pray for our husbands for strength to stand strong in their faith as they face the world.  Its our duty,  our mandate as wives,  as their helpmeet.

I know that the things that I have shared have been said before.  I hope though,  that you can be encouraged and challenged to pray for your husband,  your marriage,  and your family.  The most important thing that makes up our society.  Pray hard.  The devil doesn't give up. 

Blessings,  Andrea
