Don't expect your spouse to be God!

Exhausted again?  Didn't sleep well?

We know that all is well.
We trust you for all.
We bow to Your will.
Bow to My will as a child bows,
in anticipation of a glad surprise being prepared for it by one who loves it.
Bow in such a way, 
Just waiting to hear the loving word to raise your head
 and see the glory and joy and wonder of your surprise. -God Calling 

Thank you for protecting the ones we love and care for.

MARRIAGE

It is a foolish spouse who expects their partner to be to them only what God can be,
always ready to forgive,
totally understanding
unending patience, invariably tender and loving,
unfailing in every area,
anticipating every need and making more than adequate provision.
Such expectations put a man under an impossible strain!  -A Gentle Spirit

Even when I fail in protecting and loving those I care for,
God wraps His arms around our loved ones.
We are not God.
We will fail,
we will fall,
we will not be all that our loved ones need.
Only God can do this perfectly.
Brush yourself off,
get up, thank Him for His protection and provision.
Acknowledge your lack, and grab onto His hand.

We can't protect our loved ones from the falls of life
and the stings of the world.
God can!
