Man of God

Listening to bringing up boys again right now. I've realized that I've done so much and have said so many hurtful things to my own boys, to my own husband. I used to say terrible things like "boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider, girls go to Mars to get more candy bars." Lord, please forgive me for my part in this disdain and disrespect for men and boys. I am so blessed to have a man's man for my husband. He doesn't back down in the face of difficulty. He will stand up for what he believes in. He has been advised on many occasion by his friends to do the easy thing, but my husband has stood his ground...so happy to be blessed with such a wonderful man that I can respect with all of my heart. And yet, there have been times when I have be disrespectful...to many times. I haven't wanted to let him be the leader of our family. The Lord has been dealing with my heart on this all of this year. I pray that I will be a blessing to my husband in all things, and that I will allow him to be the man and the leader that God has called him to be. I pray that I will allow Bruce to raise these boys and teach them to be men of God. My husband is a man of God, and I am so blessed to know him.
