Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh. Proverbs 18:22 WEB.
One morning, I was lying on the floor in my room praying. My mind was aimlessly drifting from one thing to another as I prayed when I saw an image of my wife and me walking on a beach together. Then it occurred to me that her birthday was coming up soon. Then a thought came to me, "You should take her away for the weekend."
Later at the office, I checked my email. At the top of the list was one from a Myrtle Beach Resort, which offered us an oceanfront room with a jacuzzi for $49.95 a night. We were a short drive away.
I finally put the Lord's clues together, and even though we were very busy, I gave in and asked if she would like to go away for the weekend. She was delighted, and we had a wonderful time at the beach together. At another time, while my wife was praying, the Lord directed her to do something special for me in the same way.
When a couple places God at the center of their life, the Lord will become the mediator in the relationship. He will tell you things that add spice to your life and provide a way for you to do it. Yet, too often, we put ourselves at the center of the relationship, and it becomes all about what we want.
The Lord loves you both, and He wants your marriage to work. He will give you these subtle hints as He did with me along the way. Please don't ignore them. They could easily be the bridge over troubled water.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I pray that you will give me a clear vision and show me things that I can do to improve my relationship. Help me see what I am missing today. Please speak to me and through me. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

We all need encouragement like this! This title so good, with your beneficial morning message, Dion, thank you for your leading us and also in prayers for needs expressed! Wonderfully great is that song, 'Bridge Over Trouble Waters' so great a song, being a profoundly significant one, besides also being a tears in the eyes, bringing one! Since when it was released that year, one which, my family listens to the same, being thankful and appreciating how great God is in all His ways! That He's ever present in our lives to speak through His Word, to lift us up when we are discouraged or lost in any direction, how His answers build faith and salvation in Christ Jesus will lead us to move forward and over difficulties by the grace He provides, likened to tall reaching bridges to be safe upon, when in the darkness across the widest rushing rivers below, making it to the other side with God's providence!

Thank You Heavenly Father for Your pursuit of overseeing people's lives, because You love us so much and desire our relationships flourish and glorify You! When I get distracted, for even the farthest reasons why, it seems, I am grateful how You've helped me to re-gear, to not miss the best you have for me considering my relationships with family and friends and attending church every week, for it's a priority to me in person and with RHM!. I want to grow strengthened in those areas, by seeking hearing Your voice in all seasons and degrees of what would help others feel most cared for and appreciated, and that is most special to me. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!
