I want to speak wisely and be kind.

Proverbs 31:26 says, "She opens her mouth with wisdom and on her tongue is the law of kindness." I love this verse. I hope that I can be this kind of woman. Can my husband and four year old daughter say this about me??? I wonder is what I am saying building up? Is it good, kind, lovely? Is it virtuous? Is it positive? 
I want to appreciate my husband. I want to tell him every day something that I appreciate about him. And I don't want to say anything negative to him. I want to see that man out of the eyes of love.  Love as big and great as the love of God. I'm not going to point the finger any more. I am willing to be misunderstood. I am willing to change. I am willing to love. 
Lord, help me to love my husband and my daughters like You want me to love them. Help me to care for my husband the way he needs to be loved so that he can be the leader for this family that I know he is. 
I may not get all the laundry done today. I probably won't get around to the tub that needs to be cleaned. But Lord, please let me love today and this whole week, into the rest of my life. Help me to be a good steward of this family that you have given to me. Amen. 
I want to focus on what I am doing and wonder "is this beneficial to my family or just me?" Every purchase, every choice, every thought even. My family is my biggest ministry. And boy do I fail every day. But my cry is, "Jesus, make me better." I believe that He will hear my cry and He will answer me. 
Today I am thankful for Jesus...my main Man, who loves me. He is my Savior. I am thankful for Sam, my partner and lover, my beautiful daughters that I hold so close to my heart, prayer, friendship, and the Word. Every time I go to my Bible study, get together with friends and talk about the Word, God speaks to my soul...He feeds my spirit! It's so wonderful! I'm so excited!!! 
Well, if you have gotten this far thanks for bearing with me and reading about my journey in faith. So far this blog hasn't had much to do with herbs which was my original purpose in starting this thing! Haha! Soon though I will talk more about plants. Right now I am just soaking in God's love. I like it. 
Lots of love,
Robyn
