Conversations with God

Hello God, it’s me, Mara:

You know Lord, a couple cousins shared what their girls were looking for in boyfriends to make the boys super husbands. The cousins got a kick out of listening to that chatter - sensing that their girls had noticed several neighbors, some as super families, some just so-so. The cousins giggled, wondering if maybe they, as moms, should make a list to give to YOUNG mothers to encourage their little boys.

C.Z. and M.C. took a look at their own husbands, making some comments. C.Z. mentioned: “My hubby’s honest, huggable, faithful, clean, sweet, supportive, a pal and also knows how to dance.”

M. C. couldn’t be outdone, adding that her hubby was all that but he also could cook, he was attentive, especially to their girls, knew how to be humorous, was very kind, friendly and fun to have around. Then also added, “Let’s NOT forget, our husbands are also very handsome.”

Together, they added a few more items that girls might want to notice while making a list of things that would mean a lot to them – once married. They mentioned one family nearby whose hubby was attentive, he loved sending flowers to his wife and also to his mom. He was also thoughtful, truthful and also pretty wise.

Their girls loved church, hearing about Jesus. They also knew several special Bible Verses. C.Z. said:” I remember my folks shared Proverbs 18:22 with me: ‘He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord.’ So, they encouraged me to BE that kind of a girl/wife.”

M.C. added: “My folks liked 2 Corinthians 6:14, ‘Don’t be teamed with those who do not love the LORD, for what do the people of GOD have in common with the people of sin? How can light live with darkness?’ I obeyed.” They ended by saying: “Thank You, Lord, for our Super Guys.”

Love, Mara
