Dare:
Before I see David again today, pray for him by name and his needs. Say "I love you," then express love to him in some tangile way. Go to God in prayer again, thanking Him for giving me the privilege of loving this one special person - unconditionally, the way He loves both of us.
I'm up before David, so I can pray for him and I can go in and say "I love you." Piece of cake. Now I have to think of some tangible way to show him I love him. Hmmmm, that's going to take some thinking. Get back to you on that one.
Result:
I did pray and went in and told David I loved him. He asked me why I was telling him. Hmmm, why did he ask that? I told him just because I love him. We used to do that all the time - just say "I love you" occasionally. Guess that just shows how much we've taken each other for granted. Anyway, he went to take and shower and I got his clothes out for him, something I never do. It felt good. I need to keep looking for little opportunities to do things for him. It also seems that David isn't as irritable as normal. He even said his back hurt a lot yesterday, something that always puts him in a bad mood. Yet, he wasn't. Because God is working on me, and I'm actually listening, He is helping me make things better for David. Wow, God is awesome.
