Love Dare Day 7

Love Believes the Best

[Love] believes all things, hopes all things. – 1 Corinthians 13:7

Today’s Dare

For today’s dare, get two sheets of paper. On the first one, spend a few minutes writing out positive things about your spouse. Then do the same with negative things on the second sheet. Place both sheets in a secret place for another day. There is a different purpose and plan for each. At some point during the remainder of the day, pick a positive attribute from the first list and thank your spouse for having this characteristic.

So, today was pretty good.  I've been doing really well with the no negative talk.  Quite proud of myself actually.  In doing the above exercise, I discovered the positives far out wiegh the negatives.  However, I find myself complaining about and focusing on the tiny list of negatives.  Why is that?  Why can't I focus on the positives?  Because for whatever reason it's our nature.

Not anymore!  I will focus on the positives and I will tell my husband how awesome he is!

If there is anything praiseworthy -- meditate on these things. (Philippians 4:8 NKJV)
