Reputations

Reputations can be good and they can be bad, you can be known by a reputation you had in high school and it's 10 years later. You can be the person who looks past reputations and stereotypes and be a Godly person or you can just assume that the person is the same that they were at 15 as they are at 29. Definitely not the case although, some people don't ever grow up.
Who would have thought that the way I present myself reflects good or bad on my husband? What his reputation is among his friends, colleagues, and family reflects on me? What? So lets all face it we all ask silly, crazy, and illogical at times, so when someone sees me acting that way the reputation they have of my husband and our family is that it is the same. Wow I really need to watch what I do and say in public because it is representing my husband. He is representing me, and we are representing our family.

Proverbs 31:23

Her husband is known in the gates when he sits among the elders of the land.

WOW what kind of impression is my husband making in front of the elders. Is he representing his family in a Godly or worldly manner? Am I encouraging and enriching him enough to become that Godly man that God has called him to be. Are we being Christ centered parents or world centered families. Keeping up with the Jones' or not working about what the Jones' are doing. I want to be a wife that encourages and enriches my husband to the point that he wants to show the world his family. Help my husband to be truthful about the person he is, the mistakes he makes, and the Love he has for his family and for Jesus.

I know a short and not very insightful post tonight. Im tired and have a sick husband.

Prayer

Lord please help me to enrich and encourage my husband so that he can be presented and be TRUTHFUL about how he presents himself in front of the elders. Help him to understand that he represents himself. his wife, and his family in everything he does. Please help me to remember to present myself in a manner that is honoring to my husband, the lord, and my vows. In your name, AMEN.
