So you want a better wife?

“He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord" Proverbs 18:22 Gratitude is the greatest gift to perspective. However guys, if you are ever tempted to want to improve your wife I have found the worlds greatest wife-improvement programme. It goes like this: Step 1 Look at self: what can I do to be a better husband? Step 2 Look at her: what can better husband do to make wife’s world a better place Step 3 Look at wife and notice smile! Result … better wife. "Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap" Galatians 6:7 Every marriage will face its challenges. Every couple will find the temptation to compare ones partner with others. The greatest antidote to this common temptation is not to dwell so much on what he or she could do to be a better partner for you

Attention Please!

Without the right attention we can never expect our relationships to do so well. This is what attention gives: TIME – what you do is not always as important as simply the giving of time.

ACTIVITY – do together what works together. Eat together, play together, go to Church together.

Ingenuity

We will either find a way or make one. Hannibal Ingenuity is the creative force that drives new directions, new approaches, different markets, new work style. It is important we find our creative space on a regular basis.  What works for you?

Make sure you also make space for creative thinking.  Put time aside to unlock your thinking and think ‘beyond’. If necessary go to a spec

My Spirit

He who believes in Me as the Scripture has said out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. John 7:38 When Christ has entered your world there is a river of life that flows out of the inside of you.  It is all that life is meant to be (full, healthy, joy-filled, strong, creative, grace-filled and prosperous).  It flows into your mind, your emotions, your body and out of you into the world around. When we let stuff get onto our hearts:  sin, bad attitude and the general dirt of life – we find our spirit hindered.  Go through a daily debunking and keep your spirit unhindered and you’ll find LIFE constantly flowing around your world. It’ll bring freedom to your soul and health to your body. 3 simple tips: Quickly forgive those who offend you, keep your attitude warm Quickly ask
