Often in relationships, including marriage and friendship, we unconsciously find ourselves keeping scores of what others do or don't do for us. We tally up the good deeds we do for others and even keep count of the wrong things others have done to us. "You should do this because I did that" or "I'm not going to do anything for you because you did this to me". Either way, we're calculating the points and awarding favors based upon our own point system.
Erase the Scoreboard!
I challenge you for this month of love to erase the score board with your spouse. Forget about what was done in the past and focus on the right now. Don't concern yourself with what they did or did not do. "What have you done for me lately" doesn't matter. To be kind is more important than to be right. Show acts of service because you love them but don't expect anything in return.
Example: Run their bath water or turn on the shower. Fix their plate for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Send flowers, cards or candy just because. Give a compliment and say Thank You. It might just create a chain reaction.
It only takes one person, and one act of kindness to inspire others and create change.
Be blessed,
Bev
