Today my husband was not my primary focus. I spent the morning with my dear friend as she had her first round of chemo. It amazes me how often we take our lives, health and especially our spouses, for granted. I read today's dare last night, but haven't had time to sit down and write my list until just now.
My husband is an amazing man. You will often hear me say he is the best man I've ever known. It is an amazing truth. That he is my husband is a testimony to God's grace and love alone. Though there were a very few things on my negative list I easily wrote out 3 times the amount of good qualities down for him. Thankfully early in our marriage I learned not to "hang out in the Depreciation room". God blessed me with the principle of making your thoughts captive to Christ some time ago, and though I still struggle in this area sometimes I rarely dwell on negative thoughts of my husband for very long.
Truthfully it was easier for me to make my list of good qualities of my husband and I completely attribute this to God keeping me reigned in on my thought life toward my dear hubby.
Today in the light remembering all I have to be grateful for, I'm so glad to write down wonderful qualities my husband possesses. The way we think affects the way we act and most often times the battle in our marriage starts right in our own mind.
Lord, I thank you for my husband and the husbands of all these wonderful women. Please help us to focus on the good, always believe the best, and cover all things with love.

It was also easier for me to write out the positive list. I find great joy in this, because several years ago I lived permanently in the depreciation room...and it is a miserable, dark place to be.
Praise God for His love and for bringing my husband and I together. After more than 11 yrs of marriage...I am still amazed at how much love I have for this man!
That is so great Gen. I'm so excited about your marriage. It is an amazing blessing to have an abundance of love for your husband.
