Funny thing:I sat down on the floor to read the devotion while playing tug-o-war with our Puppy and I read the title of tonight's devotion Love Lets Others Win. Then of course I let go of the rope and looked at my husband who had a cute smirk on his face. (Yes, it would have been better if I won, and the dog let go on cue.)
So the devotion goes on to talk about how we are naturally stubborn, but we must be "willing" to favor our spouse's opinions to demonstrate love.
This week's Dare is to find a need in your spouse that you can meet this week. A gesture that says "I cherish you."
I have not been able to think outside the box lately so I am meeting his need of massages every night. Yes, I normally do this, but he has been working harder this week, and I don't usually do this daily.
Oh yeah and last night we had an extra passage from Song of Solomon. We found Song of Songs, but for some reason didn't realize it was the right book until I read my chapter introduction in our study bible. Thanks NIV Study Bible for helping those of us who just remember the stories, but not the specific scripture and books they came from.
