Love Dare: Day 2 How I was transformed by My act of kindness.

Good Morning last week we started the love dare on  Restoring and preserving your marriage on Facebook, and I wanted to bring itto my blog to give testimony to how each of these days have change me and my marriage. So todays dare:

Day 2

Love is kind

Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.  Ephesians 4:32

Today’s Dare 

In addition to saying nothing
negative to your spouse again today,
do at least one unexpected gesture
as an act of kindness.  

What is desirable in a man is his kindness. (Proverbs 19:22)

Being kind should never be something that we have to remind ourselves to do, but as husband and wife we get so familiar and use to one another that we just become too selfish to show the extra effort of kindness. Steve and I are no different, we definitely take one another for granted, so this was such a refreshing dare!

Here is what I did. I know how much my husband loves the Bolthouse drinks, I grabbed a bottle from Publix and when he got home, I strolled into his office and gave him the high protien blended coffee. His eyes lit up and he said "Honey, I was just thinking about one of these, how did you know?" I just smiled and kissed him on his cheek! As I walked away, I began to realize that today's dare was not for my Husband but for me. I felt so wonderful inside, his smile gave me goosebumps because I could see how such a small gesture made his day, and having a tender-heart filled with forgiveness and kindness like my father has given me more peace than I have ever had! Needless to say I got cute little kisses all day! God says that goodnes and mercy will follow us all the days of our lives. Your obedience and acknowledgment of his words entitles you to this truth! Today as you decide on the act of kindness you will do for your spouse, remember to do this for your growth! Don't worry about their reaction or if they will like it, but indulge in the act! Be Transformed...through your own act of kindness.
