A while ago we were in a meeting at church when one of the husband’s commended his wife for her consistency. He said it was evident in many ways in her life, but one way I have not forgotten. She is faithful to make their bed as soon as she gets up. He continued to say this has been true of her for decades.

Wow! I have areas that I’m consistent in as well, but making the bed daily is not one of them.

I think of her example every morning when I make my bed now. And they have no idea.

This made me realize how much we can be an influence to others in their marriage without even knowing it.

If this husband didn’t commend her publicly, I may have never been challenged to work on being more consistent in this small, but important way.

How well do you commend your spouse for the things they do regularly around the house or elsewhere?

Here’s a challenge—let’s purpose to commend our spouse, both privately and publicly, of the things we appreciate they do. This will bring great encouragement to them realizing even the smallest of tasks are seen and appreciated. But it will also serve as an example to those whom you know.

We are never too old to grow and change. And by the way, did you make your bed today? 😂

Thanks for stopping by today. We pray you have been encouraged to grow in ways that may not seem important. But your example may inspire others to do the same.

Blessings,
