30-Day Husband Encouragement Challenge for Wives

A friend of mine, Stacey Terrian led me to a great website that I wanted to share. If you have ever heard Nancy Leigh DeMoss speak or have read any of her books, I am sure you will be interested in this site. If you have not been blessed by Nancy's ministry, I strongly encourage you to pick up one of her books or peruse through her site. Go to http://www.reviveourhearts.com/topics/30-day-challenge.php or you can find a link to her site on my sidebar, "Revive Our Hearts."
Revive Our Hearts Ministry has been both a challenge and an encouragement to me. Most recently I have been challeneged by Nancy's 30 day husband encouragement challenge for wives. Below is a copy of day one of the challenge.

Day One:"The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life." Prov. 31:11-12

To refresh your memory...here's the 30-Day Encouragement Challenge...for the next 30 days:* You can't say anything negative about your husband ...to your husband...or to anyone else, about your husband.* Say something that you admire or appreciate about your husband...to your husband...and to someone else, about your husband!

To help you get started, have you ever thanked your husband for "choosing you" above all other women? He found you attractive as a person, and appreciated you. Though many circumstances in your marriage may have changed, let your husband know that you are glad God led you together, and that you want to be a blessing to him for the rest of your marriage. Let him know that he can trust you to be in his corner.

One of the best opportunities to express your gratitude is first thing in the morning. How do you greet your husband each morning? Is he confident in your love? Give him a "wake up call" that he'll never forget-a big "I love you" and an "I'm so glad I'm your wife!"

You can find days 2-30 at the site. Any other wives out there up for a challenge?
