Day 22: I'm thankful my husband is a good protector. When someone is mean to me or makes me cry, his daddy-bear instincts kick in and he wants to fight for me. Rather than punch them in the nose, he prays for them. It's a great example of love your enemy. Thank you, Lord.

Day 14: I'm thankful my husband points me to Christ. I had a bad dream about Brad last night and he talked it out with me. As we talked, I realized the enemy was trying to push my buttons and cause division between us. The dream hit me out of the blue and I woke up trying to figure out what the Lord may be showing me. Brad reminded me that if there is a concern or worry on my part, I should remember to pray for him to be fortified against attack in that area. Instead of dwelling on my dream and "what Brad did to me", I am praying for Brad to be strengthened against the enemy's poisonous arrows. Thank you, Lord.

Day 13: I'm so very, very thankful my husband makes coffee EVERY day without fail. Even in the worst of times he is faithful. There have been times I was sure he would only make coffee for himself or not make any at all and get his at Starbucks. I've been wrong every time. He always makes me coffee. Always. Thank you, Lord.
