Man shall not live by rice alone

Mr. Allan bought a bag of rice at the supermarket and so happily brought the bag of rice home for his family. Mrs. Allan met her at the doorway and spoke. Hey, what do we have here? He replied. A bag of rice for the family, he replied. Then Mrs. Allan commented, Okay! Mr. Allan repeated, Okay, is that all you will say. What do you want me to say: You have to say thank you. Do you know what I went through to get this bag of rice? Mrs. Allan continued; you bought a bag of rice only for your family and you want me to say thank you, for what? What would you expect me to do if you took me to Paris fashion week to shop? Now the situation was getting ugly. It turned into a series of fights and arguments.

RECIPE

THANK YOU, PIES,

Ingredients

½ cup appreciation

¼ cup love

¼ cup humility

METHOD

Humility is one of the key ingredients in marriage, being humble enough to thank your partner for little things will not hurt. If we say we are imitators of Christ, then our attitude should be the same as Christ Jesus who being found in appearance as man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death, even death on a cross (Philippians 2). When we love our partners, we should be able to appreciate them by constantly reminding them that they are appreciated and loved. Giving thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus (1 Thessalonians 5:18).  As you thank your husband for that bag of rice, you are thanking God and being grateful to him for everything, for from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever Amen (Romans 11:36).
