mega woman // Monday E-Devotion

I have long been attracted to the D.I.Y. (do it yourself) TV shows that have a woman host who seems to be able to do anything from overhauling an engine to remodeling your home. It is awesome.

Well, I guess you need to know that I married a mega woman, and that I am understanding and seeing that more and more every day. Since we moved into our new home, my precious wife has been hard at work making our 1st home not just livable but awesome. Painting, sanding and fixing the kitchen cabinets is almost done, and more projects are being talked about. I am amazed and thankful.

Sometimes we just don't realize what we have. So, what I wanted to share in today's devotion is that I praise God for His gift of a great wife, and I want to give a shout-out to my wife for being an awesome 'mega-woman', wife and mother. Just try and keep up, ladies.

Proverbs 18:22 (nasb) --- He who finds a wife finds a good thing And obtains favor from the LORD.

1 Peter 3:7 (nlt) --- In the same way, you husbands must give honor to your wives. Treat your wife with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in God's gift of new life. Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered.

Don't tell my wife she is weaker, but that is what the verse says.

Ephesians 5:25
(nlt) --- For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her.

Dudes, we've been blessed with some great dudets, and we need to tell them that often. My wife is a great helper and keeper for me. In just a few weeks we will celebrate our 14th anniversary.

Trust is ... she is a gift from God, sometimes hard to live with (so am I) but my partner in life and more than worthy of my love and admiration.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
