Day 20
Pray that your husband will yield his mind and thoughts to the Lord. Pray that he will not entertain immoral or impure thoughts, and that he will resist the temptation to indulge in sinful activities. (Prov. 27:12; 2 Cor. 10:5)
Proverbs 27:12 (King James Version)12A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself; but the simple pass on, and are punished.
2 Cor. 10:5 (King James Version)5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ...

In my own praying for my husband, I'm just praying he will survive until tonight. He isn't complaining - but he's been at work at 6:45 each morning Thursday & Friday because we've been short staffed - and today (Saturday) got up early again to cheer on our girls' volleyball team at their tournament.
With much on his mind, he hasn't been sleeping well either - so I know he is exhausted and hopefully we can all just crash tonight. He isn't the only one - so many in our church are working double time to get things ready for a funeral today & to minister to the family who had the loss.
Last night we didn't get home til 9:30 p.m.! It was a long day, but ended with a blessing. We had school, then straight to Andrew's ball game, then to a viewing for the man who passed away on Thursday. We were talking with a really sweet, older couple in our church - and talk turned to FOOD: good ol' country food like home-made biscuits, pinto beans, chicken and dumplings, all kinds of fruit cobblers....and we realized that NONE of us had eaten dinner yet!
So they invited us to go eat with them. Of course, I put my foot into my mouth as much as I put my food in my mouth as I am apt to do....but I love that the wife would just laugh with me when I said something like that!
For example, at the end of the meal, the waitress asked if we'd like coffee. Somehow I was distracted by Andrew (who managed to have butter squirt out of the end of his roll all over his shirt AND then scooped ice cream into his mouth but also down the front of himself!)...and they all turned to look at me and ask if I'd like coffee too. My response: "Sure, I'm a social drinker!" Which would have been somewhat funny IF the husband of the couple we were eating with wasn't a FORMER PASTOR ... thankfully, his wife just cracked up. She later whispered to me that she really used to enjoy coffe more when she used to SMOKE! LOL!!! I just love her!! And I love him too - he kept me supplied with chocolate-covered-raisins the entire meal :)
