Today, Kevin and I went to see the movie FireProof with our Sunday School class. It was a great movie! While you are watching it, you have to be careful not to get completely caught up in the story, but look at the meaning that the actors are trying to tell you. Whether you have been married 3 months, 3 years, 13 years, or 30 years, everyone can learn something from this movie. It teaches you that just like your relationship with Christ, it is a daily commitment. It's something that you can't do just one time. Every day you have to commit to do for God and for your spouse, even when you don't feel like it or get a reward in return. If you see this movie, you will be encouraged by it to not only do a better job at showing and demonstrating love to your spouse, but also doing the same towards God. HE already does it and has done it every day. So what are you waiting for? I don't want to give any secrets away about the movie for those that haven't seen it. But in the movie the dad challenged his son to a "love dare", he dared him to love his wife unconditionally and to commit to that each day. The dad told him that when it gets tough, that's when you really have to dig in, no matter what your heart or emotions tell you. "Nothing is fireproof, anything can burn, but having the correct knowledge and equipment will help you to withstand the heat and not burn while you are going through it."
Thought of the day: I challenge you to start a "love dare" with your spouse. What unselfish acts can you do to show your love? However, keep in mind that you must do it with the mind set that it's okay if you don't get anything in return. You are chosing to love them no matter what their response may be.
