Colossians 2:6-7
Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude.
Psalms 136:1
Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, For His loving kindness is everlasting.
There are so many things in my daily life that I am thankful for, and many things I need to take a minute and thank God for more often. I'm guilty of not giving credit where it's due, and my day to day walk in this life is no different.
The Lord continues to amaze me with His ways in my life. Brian and I, like every other couple, have faced hard times, but the Lord is always faithful to us. He shows us that He is there even on our dark days. Being a newlywed isn't always easy. Finances are hard. Figuring out how to merge a household is hard. Adjusting to the new way of life is hard. Every day there is another challenge in our path, but we both know that relying on God's promises that we are already taken care of and shouldn't fret.
With that being said, I like to let Brian know that I'm thankful for him. He always (Jokingly) gets onto me for thanking him for little things. But I know in my heart it goes way beyond a simple gesture. Brian is the man God made for me and every time a "little thing" is done for me, my heart is more at ease with life. God gave me this wonderful man.
For that, I am full of gratitude.
How do you express gratitude?
hi! I just found your blog from the Link Up! I have been clicking around a bit. and you're so cute. I am a newly wed, too. ish, just over a year now. you're right being married is not easy, it is hard! and I find myself getting so frustrated with my husband for stupid things like leaving dirty clothes on the floor and then I remember that at least I have a husband. and I would rather pick up his clothes then be without him.
ReplyDeleteNow, I try to thank him for everything he does so that I can remember all he does. He beams with pride when I make a big deal out of him taking out the trash or killing a spider. He knows he is my hero and I am starting to win the battle of being thankful vs pety.
So grateful for my husband too. Isn't it amazing how God sent us men who fit us perfectly? Amazing :)
ReplyDeleteI love that you thank your husband for even the little things! It really does go so far! Thanks for sharing Kayla!
