Who is your husband’s hero? Who does he look up to and why? If he could meet and spend time with anyone living or dead who would it be?
Do you know the answers to those questions? If not, find out. If you do, find a creative way to bless your husband with a gift about these personages. Example: A card with a quote, a framed quote, a book about or written by one of these people.
Pray for the health of your marriage. Ask God to alert you both to the “little foxes” that can slip in and begin to eat away at the roots of your marriage.

When the word talent is mentioned my mind goes swiftly to things like vocal or instrumental musical ability, or artistic abilities. But talent can lie anywhere and can be anything with which we can bless another person. Do you enjoy baking? Do you enjoy sewing or other needle crafts? Do you enjoy entertaining? Think about what your talent/s is/are. Now use that talent in a specific way to bless your husband. Expressly aim this talent at him so that he knows beyond all doubt you set out to do this for him.

This winter has been a long hard one physically, emotionally and spiritually for me. I will be glad to see it end. Not that the physical challenges will end with the winter, not likely. But the warmer weather may help the pain.
A couple of days ago I had been thinking on these verses in Revelation 2 “Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” Rev. 2:4-5
