Thank you for taking the time to share these posts. I am so blessed by your writing-just want you to know that I am grateful.
I used to be the girl crying beside my husband and getting offended when he would fall asleep!! I have grown up a bit now and see that I was often manipulating and unreasonable, not only needing comfort. I did NOT see myself as controlling then. Now things have completely changed around. If I were to be crying on the couch( honestly can`t recall that happening lately!!) he would be totally tuned in to me. That is where our marriage has progressed to.
I save a huge amount on groceries by avoiding pre-packaged snacks. If it comes in a package it is loads cheaper to make from scratch-almost without fail. I buy groceries in bulk so I usually have the supplies to make these snacks,crackers,breads,cookies,etc. and mine are healthier!! Instead of going out for special dates or alone-time with a child I like to spend that time baking with the child. It`s fun!
I need to hear this often. My husband makes more than enough money , I stay at home with our seven children,and yet so often I am distracted by wanting to do something that LOOKS glamorous. I have a high calling as a wife,mother,and homemaker . I know nothing else satisfies and is just a disillusion if it causes me to lose sight of God`s will for me! Thanks for the reminder again!
