What a busy few days I have had! First, this past Thursday I had the opportunity to meet up with some fellow friends and Life Purpose Coaches in Tampa. Kelly, Diane, and Phyllis were in Tampa hosting a Life Purpose Training for women who are wanting to become certified as Life Purpose Coaches through Life Purpose Coaching Centers, International. It has been nearly 2 years since I have seen each of these women, so needless to say, it was wonderful seeing them!
Second, my husband and I left for Charleston, South Carolina on Saturday. We LOVE it here! The historic downtown area is absolutely wonderful. We are here visiting with his parents and are staying at the Residence Inn Marriott which is also wonderful! This is our second trip here to Charleston and I imagine, it will not be our last. We just like it here too much! One of our favorite restaurants to eat at while we are here is Hyman's Seafood. They have the absolute best, Fried Green Tomatoes which I love. Another thing I love about this restaurant is the tidbits of knowledge they share with each of their guests. On each table, you can find cards that contain words of knowledge that I would like to share with you for the next few days. Here's the first one:
Test Your Spouse And See How They're Doing

So here's my question for you-what can you specifically do this week to show your husband that you love him and desire nothing else than to be the wife that you were created to be?
Take some time this week to really build up and encourage your husband. Not only will your marriage grow stronger, but your husband will be encouraged!
Until next time!
