We have finally settled on a church. We were visiting three churches consistently and were having a really difficult time settling on one, but we have finally chosen one. Yea! The church we are going to is Derwood Bible Church. We have joined a small group that meets on Thursday nights and we are doing a series on "Love and Respect".
Last night it was the husband's turn to learn how to demonstrate love to their wives. In the tape that we watched, Sarah (the speaker) said that one of the greatest things her husband did to love her was to model to their sons how to be appreciative and express praise to their mom.
Immediately what came to my mind was how Brad has done that for me and our girls. When we first moved back to the US, we were staying a the Wyatt's house and parked in their driveway. They had a long driveway and it wasn't entirely straight, so I had a little difficulty backing out of it (especially with my lack of experience in the previous two years). Brad would coach me with directions and praise me repeatedly saying "you are doing great". :)
Well when we moved into our house, the praise for my backing up abilities didn't finish. Jillian did the very same thing that she had seen her daddy do when I would back out of our driveway (which is probably 1/6 of the length of the Wyatt's driveway). She would say to me "mommy you are doing great!", "good job". Remembering that story makes my heart so happy.
