Don’t just listen,change.
So its fair to say that when you get married you will find some flaws in yourself. If your lucky enough not to see them yourself your spouse might be willing to point them out for you. Now while that may be hard to hear, trust me its hard to say as well. I certainly don’t want to tell the Hubby things I know will hurt him. However somethings just need to be said. So here is my advice for the day, don’t just listen when your spouse points something out (or you notice yourself) change it!!! I know it maybe hard, its probably something you have either done forever or do self consciously but try.
Apparently I’m a pushy person, that wasn’t easy to hear but I’m sure it was even harder for the Hubby to deal with. I tend to repeat the same thing over and over and over and well you get the point till I annoy Him into doing it. So I’m working on it. I’m guessing this wont be an overnight change but I’m working on it.

So I figured it was time to post something green on this site again.
REDUCE:
Buy things fresh, not pre-packaged whenever possible and use cloth bags instead of the plastic ones for produce here is what I use but there are lots of options out there. I found these on Etsy just type in produce bags you will get lots of options in sizes, color and price.
REUSE:
If you use plastic bags cool, thats fine its up to you but can you reuses them? Doggie poo bags, trash can liners, liter box liners, recycle them at Wal-Mart, crochet them into rugs (just google it,) give to your local food pantry.
RECYCLE:
Many people recycle the basics but have you ever payed attention to how many things can be recycled? For example yogurt cups, rinse and recycle. When I buy spinach at the store if I can’t find it fresh (reduce) then I buy it in bulk in a plastic tub that can be recycled!!! Magazines can now be recycled along with the glossy ads in the newspaper!!!

In Search for Significance
Wow read this and think for a min. Its a quote from my book “The Search for Significance.” I’m only a few chapters in because I’m trying to really read and comprehend what I’m reading. Therefore I’m still in the ground laying chapters. This section is in chapter on “God’s Answer: Justification” and is talking about sin and reasons not to sin #4 is “His commands for us are good.”
“In today’s society, we have lost the concept of doing somethign because it is the right thing to do. Instead, we do things in exchange for some reward or favor, or to avoid punisment. Wouldn’t it be novel to do sometign simply because it is the rgiht thing to do?”
Wow, isn’t that the truth.
