Through a New Lens: Challenge Days 3-7

"Whatever you do, whether than you eat or drink; or whatever you do, do all for the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31

Marriage

Day 3~ Write a list of 5 things you see that your husband does very well. Tonight when he gets home, choose one and thank him. Don't rush it, but find a time to really be able to look him in the eyes and let him know you are grateful. (Keep the list and thank him for the other 4, sometime in the next month)

Day 4~ Find a verse that you want to pray for your husband, write it on a notecard and tape it somewhere for him to find today. Remember to pray for him!

Day 5~ Ask your husband to share something that you could do for him today, that would be helpful to him. Purpose to get it done!

Day 6~ Call your husband, just to say "I love you and I'm proud of how hard you work to provide for our family."

Day 7~ Set aside an hour tonight for your husband to do something he really enjoys. Even if it does not include you, just let him enjoy some quiet time of his own. (with a joyful spirit!)



Motherhood


Day 3~ Ask each child what makes the feel loved and purpose to express that kind of love to them today.

Day 4~ Have something fun planned for breakfast, maybe even something your children request, but you don't make too often.

Day 5~ Set aside 30mins to 1 hour to do what your children want to do! Don't answer the phone or any other distractions, just "be" with them.

Day 6~ Find time to speak to each of your children individually today and let them know how you see progress in them. Thank them for making good choices that honor God.

Day 7~ Spend 30 minutes today reading silly books with your children! Enjoy and laugh with them.
