Help Meet or Constant Dripping?
.jpg)
Is this how it is in your home?
This is the way that it should be!
I am ashamed to say that there are a lot of times that my husband is ready to go back to work minutes after getting home. I am often so tired from a long day of cleaning, schooling, changing diapers and dealing with 3 kids under 5, that I snap when I finally have him home.
Proverbs 19:13 says
" a quarrelsome wife is as annoying as constant dripping."
I am sad to confess that some days this verse very much describes me. I am so focused on me and what I need. I find things to argue and fuss about.
Proverbs 31:12"She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life."
I like this verse much better! I want to bring my husband good. I want him to be glad to come home to our family.
I am so thankful that God has given me a husband that loves me and is forgiving.
Father,
Please help me to be a help meet to my husband.
Help me to bring him good and not harm.
Please forgive me for the times that I am quarrelsome.
Thank you for my husband and the blessing that he is to my family!
Help me to honor him.
In Jesus name,
Amen
HI Michelle! I had to smile at the part about your husband wanting to turn around...I have been where you are, that's for sure. And I only had two kids. It's hard to balance it all, and put on a sunny face besides.

Thank you, Ceil!
DeleteI'm afraid the constant dripping shows too often in my attitude - thank you for the encouragement and your prayer. It's the perfect thing for me to begin and end my day!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by! I am glad that you were encouraged!
DeleteGod Bless You!
This is speaking to my heart - through a megaphone. Thanks for the reminder. My husband & I are in a rough season of our marriage, and some of it is because I was that continual dripping in the earlier years. Praise the Lord for His patience as He works on us :)
