Love makes a good impression. This dare was actually a few days ago but it is one that really stood out. You can and should find the whole dare here at K love under Dare day 9. It is something simple that makes a big difference. When you treat your spouse well you are treating yourself well and a simple cheerful greeting is such a pleasant and simple gesture. Wouldn't you like to be greeted cheerfully when your spouse sees you. A simple kind greeting says "I love you, you make me smile". It can make all the difference between.an evening of tired grumpy conversation based on whose day was worse or a chance to appreciate each other and feel joy. I can't promise they will always respond in kind, but your heart notices the difference and joy in the little things is a much better state of being than choosing to stay tired and grumpy.
This one hit home because it is very doable and I could improve in this. When Josh gets home I probably usually look tired. Pretty easy to just make the effort to smile and show them we are excited to see them. I love my husband and I may have had a rough day but it will improve both our days if I can choose to make the effort to show him that I love him and am happy to see him. I hope this little tidbit can encourage you today :)

Agreed! I think just making the CONSCIENCE effort to "die to oneself" with our words (or lack there of if you're me) is a beautiful piece of marriage. If I'm tired or grouchy, I'm quiet. If I push through the meanies and say kind words, my whole home flourishes. Thanks for the daily reminders. You are precious and loved. :)
SO true! How is your dare going? Love you! Kristy
