SOOO, It's never easy to hear about our faults is it. I know for me it is probably one of the hardest things ever to do. I will for sure keep that in mind the next time I feel judgmental and frustrated. I will take a second, regroup and say it kindly.
Why is there such a vast difference in the way we see ourselves and the way other people see us? I will spend some time praying that the Lord opens my eyes to my faults so that no one else needs to.

Reflection for Day Three
My Dearest Love,
What was your choice of gift for your partner? How did they react to your gesture? I have given you many gifts my dear heart.I have given you a heart to love, a soul to dance and a mind to think. Often these gifts can be used in ways I had not intended. Watch that you do not use your gifts only to gain favor, but because it is an outward expression of your love. Much as my gifts for you are simply because I love you.
Love,
Jesus Christ
Ok so the 11th hour save last night with peanut butter cups. Money is tight so I was trying but just couldn't get myself out the door. We did go to dinner originally but I thought about it and it seemed more for me, than him. My darling husband brought me home a cup of hot chocolate with stickers all over it. Isn't he wonderful :)

Reflection for day two
My Dearest One,
Yesterday was far easier than day one for you was it not? Were able to easily meet the challenge? What was in your heart as you proceeded with the task? Did you do this because you felt you had to or because you wanted to? How did your heart feel? Always remember that what you do to the lease of of men is what you do to me.
Love
Your Savior
I picture Him saying this to me. I did complete day two. I struggled with doing something as an act of kindness. By the end of my day I am so burnt out it takes all I have just to not snap never mind be nice. I had planned on doing the dishes and cleaning up so Dan didn't have to watch over the chores. I felt ill after dinner so I sat down. It was either that or puke everywhere. Dan went to put baby girl in bed around 9 and fell asleep so I chose to let him just stay in bed, where I normally would have woken him to help.
The end result was him waking up a few hours later when I came to bed and getting up to find the chores not done properly and some of the food still out. So much for him feeling relaxed and calmed by going to bed early. So I guess I kind of failed at that one. The intention was pure.
I struggled during the day with what act of kindness I could put forward for him. It surprised me that this was so hard.

Day One complete
It's a struggle for me to not unload on Daniel when I am upset. I can't imagine that is easy to listen to. So this day one was really hard to do. I found myself physically biting my tongue many many times last night. I got so frustrated a few times and still chose to say nothing. The gift was that waking up this morning I don't even really remember what they were. I did slip and tell him he put Grace's tights on backwards. Did he need to know that? Nope, he did not but it came from my mouth faster then I could stop it.
This is going to be work.Lord help me to be more positive so this sin't such a struggle. Lord help me to remember all the good reasons why I married this man. Lord thank you for this day, my family and my husband. I am truly blessed
