Love is Patient! Day 2!

This love languages journey is fun!  Is it always going to be fun?  Probably not because it will require sacrifice on both of our parts.  We'll have days where we get on each others nerves, but those will be few and far between in comparison to the good days!  It's hard for Sean to let go and let me do the things such as prep his lunch just the way he likes it.  However, we're working on that..Baby steps.  1 Corinthians 13:4 says, "Love is patient, love is kind...."  During this journey we will both be excercising lots of patience with the other person as we adjust to our new way of doing things!  Patience, it doesn't come easy but it's worth it!

Just a few moments ago I was cutting up a couple of stalks of celery when Sean walked in.  I said, "Honey, I'm cutting you up two stalks of celery today incase you get hungry early and need a snack."  He said, "Now I have a stalker!"  Yep, my silly husband!  He's like that 7 days a week!  What you see on Sunday is what you get the rest of the week! There's no pretending with him.

I got to thinking though about what he said.  We as Christians have a daily stalker and his name is Satan.  1 Peter 5:8 says:  "Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour."  http://biblehub.com/1_peter/5-8.htm.  So we must always be on the alert for Satan and his schemes.  There's nothing that would delight satan more than for Sean and I to give up early on in this game.  Guess what?  We aren't!  

So today, if you're journeying with us, I'd like to encourage you to encourage your spouse today!  Do at least one thing that speaks his/her love language!  Be careful! Satan is out there too stalking around us.  

Agape,

Alicia
