My husband left for work this morning and will be gone for 3 days. I imagnine it will be difficult to complete some of these challenges without him being actually present. After reading this morning about kindness I decided to send my hubby a couple pictures of the kids and tell him how much we miss him. He had been home for 4 days so we really do miss his presence first thing in the morning. I'm praying today I can think of other acts of kindness I can do for my husband even though he will not be home. Any suggestions?
Praying all you ladies think of creative acts of kindness to show your husband today.
Can't wait to hear what you did!!

So as my act of kindness today I got up at 7am and drove across town to feed my in-laws dogs. I let him sleep in even though I had to work this morning and I worked a double shift yesterday. I was exhausted! I had to tell my husband about what I was doing last night. Apparently he has been upset over the fact that I changed my password on facebook and thought I was hiding something. He doesnt like social sites because of his exfiance. I had to explain to him that I was doing this endeavor and was supposed to keep it from him. It was hard to keep patience with someone when they are being rude to you when I am trying to do something nice for him. I kept my composure though it was difficult. Oh I also let him go bowling with his friend tonight even though I feel that Sundays are meant for family time. We will see how tomarrow goes.
I was watching a speaking recently who said that if people offered to video tape your life and at the end of 1 month you had only spoken kind words to your spouse then you would win a million dollars you would do it. His point was that we don't lack ability, but insentive. I have been thinking about this yesterday and today with the same thoughts about saying ANYTHING negative to my husband. I love that we not only had to do something kind today, but that we still had to not say anything negative.
Today my acts of kindness were via our phones. I sent a few encouraging words over the course of the day and this evening I emailed my husband a love letter. I'm bummed he wasn't here to do something better for.
Nickole that is so true! I always become uncomfortable when spouses are rude to eachother. We hung out with other couples last night and I was just blown away by the way people speak to someone whom they are supposed to love respect and cherish...it makes me sad. Maybe I just haven't been married long enough to have become like that yet.
Yesterday for my act of kindess I put his needs before mine. At the end of the day he offered for me to not have to cook anything and at first I said ok because I just did not want to cook and had enjoyed a weekend without cooking (the kids we're with grandma). But I decided to do it and I decided to go further and ask him what I could bake for him for a dessert. He asked for cake with chocolate frosting so I made the cake and frosting from scratch and it came out delicious, he was a happy guy, he lOVES chocolate!
Ah, Jen great job!!! It is so difficult to cook when you don't want to and then someone else offers. You truly chose to be selfless. Praise God!! I'm inspired, covicted and impressed!
