Today we're so excited to go around Manila. We visit Manila Cathedral for our 23rd year wedding anniversary thanksgiving day. A simple family togetherness and a short Manila City Tour made our day.
Inspirational Reading for the Day:
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. – Ephesians 5:22-28

Prayer for Husband
(23rd Wedding Anniversary, December 18, 2014)
Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for this wonderful gift of a husband, companion, and friend. Remind me to celebrate his achievements, and to turn my focus away from his faults. Equip me to be the help meet you have called me to be, and the friend my husband needs me to be. Help me to recognize his efforts, his courage, his strength, and to sing his praises in a way that brings honor to him and to our marriage. Lead me to love. Teach me to speak kindly when I’m frustrated, and to respect him as the head of our home. Show me the ways that I might encourage and support Him to be the man you have called him to be. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
