Your Imperfect Man and Gratitude...

"Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone."Romans 12:18, NLT

You know something.....there is so much complaining in this world, so much what about me attitudes, just so much self, self, self...that the actual key to happiness is....you want to know? I will tell you...it is putting self LAST...yep...its that simple.

If your man annoys you, does leave his mess for you to clean up, does spend time with his buddies, does buy for himself, etc....THANK GOD YOU HAVE HIM! I am incredibly blesse with a he-man, who has a heart of gold-towards everyone and everything...lesson for me learned!

So what if he leaves his messes for you: be thankful that you are the woman in his life to clean up after him...you would miss it if he wasn't there.
So what if he spends time with his buddies: have you made him WANT to come home to you?
So what if he buys for himself: one day, he will get it WITHOUT your guilting him, to WANT to buy for YOU

The list goes on here, but the bottom line is this...he chose you, have YOU changed into someone he doesn't WANT to want?

Think about it...I bet if you really looked in the mirror and saw the person you have turned into, you will see how you need to renew yourself. The benefit of him wanting to do, give and be with you is so tremendous....it all starts with you...who do YOU want to be? Do you want to be the woman he has in his life? Do you want him to do/give for you?? I bet you do....so start today...make small changes...smile more often (a smile IS a sacrifice to God - smile even if you don't want to!) Be nice when you would normally jump on him, say something agreeable to him....think woman, think! If you want to keep your man, be the woman HE WANTS YOU TO BE!

Be grateful that you have that big lug laying next to you, in the same house with you, providing for you...all in the best way he can FOR YOU! Show your gratitude....it can move mountains that you thought were impossible to move.

Do everything without COMPLAINING or arguing, so that you may becomeblameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depravedgeneration, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out theword of life.... Philippians 2:14-16
