Day 34 - Love Celebrates Godliness


Will truly walks out his faith everyday, so this was an easy dare.


Today, we saw a member of our church that we hadn't seen in several weeks, in passing, while in the car. We waved and blew our horns as we passed by. Immediately, Will used it as an opportunity to encourage him, by calling him on his cell phone. I know that Will had called him many times before, without ever receiving a call back, but he wasn't discouraged by that. He knew that since he saw him this time, it was a great opportunity to connect and they did.


As they chatted by phone, I thanked God for my husband. If it had been me in that situation, I likely would have waved as we passed by and that would have been it. I would have felt like I had done my part previous to seeing them by calling and leaving messages. But Will was truly focused on the result, not just giving a cursory effort. I thank God for his example to me. I thank God for his hunger and thirst to see the people of God live prosperous lives.


This is only one example. He sent out a text message to our church family yesterday, seeking prayer for our sister that's in the hospital with double pneumonia. He was so touched that so many church members, including the teens, wrote him back committing to pray for Lisa. It's easy for folks to connect with Will, because he truly is committed to Godliness. So today, I celebrate my love for my husband. I celebrate his godliness.


Be blessed!
