Putting the Word into Action

God led Abraham's servant to the wife that was right for Isaac. If you are not married make a list of the Godly qualities you want your future spouse to have and then ask God to lead you to right person accordingly. If you are married, ask the Lord to help you find something special to do for your spouse to show that person and the Lord that you appreciate your life's partner.
