READ: Ephesians 5:22-33
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her. Ephesians 5:25 When my wife had dental surgery, she was out of commission for the weekend. While she was recuperating, I had the daunting task of taking care of her and the kids. I cooked, washed dishes, made special trips to the store for her, and bathed the kids. When I saw all I had done, I thought to myself, I deserve extra credit and reciprocal service when she gets better. Before I gave myself too many pats on the back, however, the Holy Spirit reminded me that what I was doing was my privilege and duty as a Christian husband.
In Pauls time, many believed the husbands needs dominated the household, and the wife existed to fulfill his needs and to serve him. The Christian view was quite different, however. Women were seen as persons of equal worth. The wife was transformed from an accessory to a person of intrinsic value, becoming the focus of her husbands concern. Instead of demanding that she live for him, he was to serve her!
Ephesians 5:25 portrays Christ as loving the church and giving Himself for her. And verse 29 indicates that Jesus nourishes and cares for her. As husbands pursue Christlikeness, they have the privilege and duty to sacrifice, nurture, and care for their wives.

Thank you, Mayor..I have never seen a Tananger..They are beautiful.
We have spotty sunshine today but it is 78 outside and I may have to flick on the A/C switch soon.
Double Wow for the beauty of the redbird and pink dogwood~
Glad to have you back!!
I've been in a Dream Most of this Day, because I was Finally Able to Go Hiking through the Woods on the King's Ranch, and it was Wonderful Beyond Telling, a Gift from the Grace of our Mighty King! Something Unexpected Happened; Even though about 2 Years had Elapsed Since I've Stepped Foot on that Part of the Property, it Strangely Felt as if No Time At All had Gone By, and I was just Taking Up where I'd Left Off. What a Blessing this Day was!!
To Be Praised Forever is our Blessed Redeemer, Who 'Gives unto us Beauty for Ashes, and the Oil of Joy for Mourning.' (Is.61:3) 'Thou hast turned for me my Mourning into Dancing: Thou hast Put Off my Sackcloth, and Girded me with Gladness.' (Ps.30:11) The Depths of His Mercy are Endless; our Wells of Joy Shall Never Run Dry!
Have a Restful and Peaceful Night, Dear Finest FRiends!
