30-Day Challenge - Day 1

I found this challenge through a friend's blog and it's intrigued me.  This is something that has been on my heart for the last 6 months to a year and I love the difference it has made in our relationship.  The challenge is a 30-day husband encouragement challenge.  I've gotten a lot better about encouraging Mr. P, but I want to get better and make it more of a habit.  So, I"m going to share my journey here and anyone that would like to join me, can!  
The whole challenge can be found here.  Feel free to post your journey in the comments so we can encourage each other together.


So the rules are:
* 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!


I'm pretty good about not saying demeaning things about Mr. P to other people.  I wasn't always that way, I think most women like to vent about their husbands' quirks every once in a while.  But, I've decided that it wasn't fair to say things about him, when he lives just as close to me and my quirks and doesn't say anything.  And even if he did, I'm sure I'm a lot worse to be around than he is, so I have no room to talk about his 'speck.'  


And here's 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 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!"
