Chasah's Married Ladies Blessing

I have some notes from this past married ladies' blessing, we had for Chasah Copenhaver; (my Sister-inLaw :) Still getting used to that thought, but I like it alot!!

Notes I have taken it hopes to apply them to my life.

Pray with your husband, Remember what God has done for you.

"I'm In Love" Be in Love w/ God and your husband. "Where did you come from?" From your husband's rib, so protect his heart. Church is to Christ, Wife is to husband, Our husband will not measure up to Christ. But he is the Shadow of the Church to Christ.

Give your whole heart in being married, to your husband.

Hold onto your husband's dreams. Believe in his dreams. Show belief through your eyes.

The wife is the help mate, not the leader. In following your husband, he will make you beautiful. Hold their heart and don't hurt it.

Do not loose the sense of fun you have with your husband.

Pray for your husband.

Remember your first love, it's easy to forget, lots of distractions. We want to get answers from our husbands instead of God.

Marriage is like a cup of coffee. First thing, you put in sugar - commitment (sweet), coffee - trials (bittersweet), difficult - ask for grace. Cream is the grace to go through the adventure. Power is perfected in weakness.

Main character, conflict, rising actions, complications, climax, falling action. (I am not really sure how to explain this one. Think of the graphline on charting contractions.)

• Handy Guide for the married man. "Dangerous", "Safer",  "Safest". (If you want more insight, comment or email, and I will try and get a copy.)

• Encourage your husband and listen to him. A wife can be there for her husband; even if she did not complete what he wanted.

•  *Our lives take a long time to get completed. Even when you think everthing is going just fine, God continually works on you. Likened unto road construction :) Follow your husband as he follows God.

Live in the Moment! Don't miss the moments. Take a sunrise or sunset for example, if you do not stay there; you will have missed a beautiful moment.

Lay up your treasures...in Heaven. (If you get a chance, you should read; Knowing the Heart of God by George McDonald.)

Obtain your relationship through God.

Leave notes for your husband.

Okay with that in mind, I would like to add a few more complex things to this list.

1 Cor. 11:3-7 - God does like for the Man's head to be covered. We try to make our men to walk before God with his head covered.

Matt. 21:18-22 - The fig tree withers.

Christ built the Church on the one that denies Him.

God will give your husband the strenght to not deny him again.

Your husband is exactly where God wants him to be.

It is the one who has endure to the end, and he will be saved.

Endure to the End.
