from a friend

I read this on a friend's blog ( http://afullheart.blogspot.com) and thought it was great. I knew she wouldn't mind if I borrowed it!

1 Corinthians 11:8-9...

For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man;
for indeed man was not created for the woman's sake, but woman for the man's sake.

Now, put YOUR man's name where it says "man":

for indeed Jimmy was not created for the woman's sake, but woman for Jimmy's sake.

Next, put YOUR name where it says "woman":

For indeed Jimmy was not created for Judy Kay's sake, but Judy Kay for Jimmy's sake.

WOW!! That made it so clear to me that my role, in fact, my very purpose in life from before I was even created, was to live as Jimmy's wife, for his sake. In living for his sake, I am to learn to align my thoughts with his, my desires with his, my plans with his plans. I am to learn to help him. Then in doing so I am fulfilling God's plan for me. It makes finding your "purpose in life" all too easy. It's right there in front of us as wives! And surely living for our husbands, truly living to serve them, brings God much glory.
