Great Reminder

A post I published from a few years ago is titled "Submission and Comfort," and it is pasted below.

"When a wife submits to her husband, there is a peace that comes. I was sitting on the front right of a vehicle with a good friend one time, parked in her driveway, about to go shopping. This was before I was married, and I look back and see how truly peaceful this experience was. She rolled down her window (she was on the driver’s side), and her husband talked to her. He was being firm, but kind and loving and telling her that she should be careful on some specific road or intersection. She responded so kindly and sweetly and gratefully to him that I felt a comforting peace. That submission that I had seen I had really liked, and I want to imitate that for my marriage so that those observing can be peaceful and blessed. During the week that I was considering this topic for an entry and as the example of this couple was 'floating around' in my mind to use to explain the peace from comfort and submission, I was about to head out the front door of my husband’s and my house. It was neat to practice the submission after he told me to be careful and drive safely, simply those words. I told him gratefully that I would, and we parted company in peace, me beginning to wonder who else in our future could see this example now practiced and feel peace, comfort, safety, and blessing. :)"

Here is my new entry on the matter: 

This is a good reminder to me as I read the above entry.  How I need to soak up the message and keep reminding myself of it and live it out!  How much peace, how much peace... and I actually have not lost the submission (and others have not lost the resulting peace) completely... gratefully when I have not thoroughly and peacefully and obediently and successfully submitted, I have received forgiveness and God has given grace to those around, and God has restored.  Praise His Healing Name.
