Hello everyone. Thanks for your attention, brothers, lol.
Today's musings are primarily for wives but I believe
husbands and unmarried people can pick a few things from them.
I was talking with one of my colleagues and I asked after
his baby. I had heard a colleague call the baby by the official nickname and the father had given an explanation on why the nickname didn't
apply in their own case. I wasn't really paying attention so I didn't get the
explanation.
When I asked after the baby, I intentionally used the
official explanation and he was BEAMING as he explained to me that his wife
already uses the baby's official nickname for him (the dad) so she came up with
a new nickname for the baby. As he was talking about NICKNAMES (of all things),
his smile was so bright. Who knew something like not insisting on the official
nickname of your baby could win a man's heart like that...Nickname! Ah.
Anyway, my sisters, I said I should share my insights
with you as I pray for a divine revelation of the nickname that will melt my
beloved's heart like that...
My second musing has to do with some attitudes I've seen
women exhibit that will NOT melt but harden their husbands' hearts. I've been
priviledged to buy things for some women and I've realised that only few women
understand the power of gratitude (I have only recently joined the ranks of
those few women, lol). A man goes out of his way to buy you mangoes and your first
comment is that they are not very ripe. And you're still wondering why he
doesn't buy you anything. Let me give you a clue - your response to his last
attempt put him off. That's why! You know I'm not one to pamper a man's ego but
trust me, I won't massage a woman's own either. We have some entitled women who
1) don't express gratitude for acts of kindness 2) say "thank you",
then go on to belittle the efforts put into the acts of kindness
We need to cultivate the attitude of gratitude. For
starters, I'll like to appreciate everyone that takes time to read, like and
comment on my posts. I appreciate you all. I hope we'll all look for
opportunities to express gratitude today.
Enjoy your day.
