Marriage Fruits of the Spirit--JOY & PEACE {WW4MW Series}

  • The glory of life is to love, not to be loved; to give, not to get; to serve, not to be served.
  • Each new day is an opportunity to start over again...
  • King or peasant, he is happiest who finds joy and peace in his home.

    {PEACE}
    • Any housewife, no matter how large her family, can always find time to be alone by doing the dishes. :) 
    • Don't go to bed angry.
    • A minute of thought is worth more than an hour of talk.
    • Peace isn't the absence of conflict, but the ability to cope.
    • To will what God wills brings peace.

      {My Thoughts}

      As we have all heard before, J-O-Y = Jesus, Others, You...Time to get the focus off ourselves in our marriage and serve with a joyful heart. If I stop worrying about MY needs and start focusing on the needs of my hubby, then I am not only doing my job, but also will realize that my true "NEEDS" have changed/are being fulfilled.

      I ♥ that quote about the dishes--makes me smile every time! :)
      Also, love that to have peace in our homes we #1: must have Christ as the center, and #2: will still have trials and struggles, but we'll be able to deal with them because of the calming assurance that Jesus' presence brings.
