Day 2 was about doing a kind gesture for your spouse. Not for the sake of saying See I did this for you, but for the sake of showing them kindness and compassion. We live in a world where we are told, don't do that for your spouse, they will take advantage of you. I say are you kidding. I want my husband to know that I love him. I want my husband to know that I intend to be kind to him always. Why wouldn't I cook for him, clean for him, do laundry for him, iron for him, etc...you get my drift. What makes it so hard for people to understand that my doing things for my husband isn't degrading or demoralizing, it's blessing him which blesses me when I see a smile on his face and joy in his walk.
With over 50% of American couples getting divorced, I'm thinking something has to change. Tell me what have you done today to demonstrate kindness and selflessness to your spouse. What have you done today to enjoy the life God has given you by giving to another? Today I ironed. It was the one thing I could do for my spouse alone. Only he will wear the shirt I ironed. Only he will benefit from my gesture. No one else will get the joy of putting on a clean, ironed shirt and feel my love. That is what I did today as my gesture of kindness. It doesn't have to be grandeous, it doesn't have to be out of the ordinary, it just has to have you thinking about them in the process of doing it.
Be Kind and Selfless Today!
