So, I posted a little while ago about making some homemade dish soap...well, it wasn't a total bust....I had to tweak it a little bit.. The recipe was as follows...
1/4 Cup Felz Naphtha Soap
2 Cups Water
1 TBL Spoon Vinegar
You melt the soap in the 2 cups of water, on the stove, but don't let it boil...That part was easy. Then you added the vinegar and let it cool, that was all fine and well...but when it came time to wash the dishes, I found that it left my dishes still greasy feeling...Not cool...So to my mixture, I added a tablespoon of vinegar, and a tablespoon of Borax...It seemed to help...now it works!! Yay!!
So I have been reading different posts on facebook, as well as watching different couples in public. What I have learned while just sitting back is that there a lot of women are tearing down their husbands instead of building them up. I am a very fortunate wife, and my husband works very hard to support our growing family. I know that sometimes I let stuff pile up around the house sometimes, but he doesn't nag me for it. But it's almost as us being women, if a man forgets to do something, we nag and nag and nag. I got to thinking, what if the shoe were on the other foot, and husbands began nagging the wives about backed up dishes, or backed up laundry, or sandy floors? It wouldn't go over to well, would it? I love what the last part of Ephesians 5 says: 21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
27 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.
28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
God took woman from man, not to be walked over but to fit under his arm, and to work together. Life deals some pretty hard cards, and we should work them out together, hand in hand. Husbands are a gift from God, and I know I hardly ever take the time out to say thank you to my husband, but I do thank God for a man that works so hard, and who leads his family under God, and the Bible. Thank God I got a Godly Man :) This song is an awesome song and I pray that our kids see their daddy like I do!
