My husband has been home with Silas and I for the last 10 months. There are great things about this and some not so great things. During this time the relationship that he has with his son is something I think is priceless. Silas knows his daddy, loves to cuddle and play with him. Before Doug was home, he did love Silas but now he has such a love for him...its indescribable.
Some friends of mine at work get together every two weeks to talk, pray, and share our lives. One of them posts a daily reading from the book 'The Power of a Praying Wife'. I am often taken back by the chord these readings touch in me. It is often on those difficult days when I sort of wish Doug was at a job somewhere. I am quickly reminded the Lord is continually doing work in both of us and to get on my knees and pray for my husband. Here is one that really hit home for me.
Lord, I pray that in the midst of trials my husband will look to you to be his refuge “until these calamities have passed by” (Psalm 57:1). May he learn to wait on You because “those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint” (Isaiah 40:31). I pray that he will find his strength in You and as he cries out to You, You will hear him and save him out of all his troubles (Psalm 34:6). Teach him to cast his burdens on You and let You sustain him through everything that is happening in his life.
As for me, I will call upon God, and the Lord shall save me. Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and He shall hear my voice. He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me. Psalm 55:16-18
