Married to "God's little girl"
Jim Martin, with a little help from Gary Thomas, has written a fine post on Christians treating one another as children of God:
I suspect our marriages and homes would be radically different if we treated one another as God’s children. I suspect we would treat our spouses with more grace and cherish them more if we saw them as daughters and sons of the most high God.Jim brings the point home with this perspective on how Christians treat our spouses:
What does your "father-in-law" think about the way you are treating his daughter/son? Why not choose today to do something to commuinicate to your spouse or another family member that you cherish that person?Amen.

Amen to that one!
I once heard Elisabeth Elliott speak on servanthood--what a blessing that woman was! She told us to serve our husbands as if he were Christ Himself...that would radically change things.
Good post, Milton! I think I'm back to blogging again. Still need those prayers, though.
Blessings in Christ,

You're right. It would also radically change things if husbands loved their wives as Christ loves the church!
I'll continue praying for you, Vicki, and would enjoy reading your blog again. Peace.
Milton,
The Kingdom helps us see all our relationships in new and better ways. I linked to this one. Thanks. You have the gift of finding and sharing gems.
