Love let the other win (Day 12)
I have to say yesterday's dare was very good. My husband cooked me a wonderful dinner - it was nice to come home from work and not have to worry about cooking...VERY nice!!! I got to sit and watch some TV and relax a bit.
Later that night...I gave my hubby a nice full body massage (nothing dirty)...he thought I would just give him a quick back rub...but I took my time....back, arms, hands, legs (he doesn't like his feet touched), head - a good 30 + minutes!! I'm not going to fib - my hands started hurting.....I don't know how people do that on a daily basis!!
OK..on to today's.......
Love let the other win Day 12
Do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interest of others. Philippians 2:4
Today's Dare:

Love makes good impressions (Day 9)
We've made it to day 9.....
Love makes good impressions
Greet one another with a kiss of love 1 Peter 5:14
Today's Dare:
Think of a specific way you'd like to greet your spouse today. Do it with a smile and with enthusiasm. Then determine to change your greeting to reflect your love for them.
________ Check here when you've completed today's dare.
Easy enough......I guess after you've been married a while (and have children) by the time you get home from work - you just want to change and relax, you forget all about that greeting you used to do to your spouse (like when you first were married). I know my first thoughts are to get my shoes off, and get out of my uniform.
I guess I need to rethink it huh?
