Annie's Woodshed: Two stress reliefs with one spanking

A True Wife

"A true wife makes a man's life nobler, stronger, grander, by the omnipotence of her love 'turning all the forces of manhood upward and heavenward.' While she clings to him in holy confidence and loving dependence she brings out in him whatever is nobles and richest in his being. She inspires him with her courage and earnestness. She beautifies his life. She softens whatever is rude and harsh in his habits or his spirit. She clothes him with the gentler graces of refined and cultured manhood. While she yields to him and never disregards his lightest wish, she is really his queen, ruling his whole life and leading him onward and upward in every proper path. -JR Miller

Two stress reliefs with one spanking

So hubby and I both had a very stressful day. #2 son had a kitchen fire today while we were at work. Someone was driving by that knew us called our work place and had word passed to us that smoke was pouring out of the roof of our house. By the time we got home the fire department, sheriff's department and EMS were here. Son was calmly sitting on the front porch drinking a Dr. Pepper with the doors and widows open. After I realized he was ok and I could breathe again I fell apart. The rest of the day I was snippy and by 6:00 hubby had enough of my attitude. So out came the lj AGAIN and we had an attitude adjustment. But I noticed afterwards that his face wasn't set as grim and his shoulders were not slumped as bad. So it wasn't just my stress relieved it was his also.

There is no major damage to the house. The kitchen will need to be repainted but we are repainting the house any way. The smoke smell is gone and the cabinets washed down just fine so all it good. No lives were lost and we still have all of our possessions.

OMG! Thank the good Lord that your son was ok. That is just so very scary. Oh wow! I'm actually glad that even with all the trauma that your hubby spanked you. You guys did need that and good for him for noticing through the trama. Most would say the timing was not appropriate but sometimes it's exactly what you need.

Hugs!!

Gems, believe me the timing couldn't have been more perfect. I could tell that I wasn't dealing with the stress in a good way. My back starts spasming when I am under a lot of stress and I was having spasms really bad. But after the spanking and my back did feel better. Today it is sore but I can move. He knows me oh too well. LOL

Colossians 3:18-25

Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged. Slaves, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality. Colossians 3:18-25 ESV

1Peter 3:1-7

Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives, when they see your respectful and pure conduct. Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening. Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered. 1Peter 3:1-7

Proverbs 31: 10-31

An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good, and not harm, all the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands. She is like the ships of the merchant; she brings her food from afar. She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and portions for her maidens. She considers a field and buys it; with the fruit of her hands she plants a vineyard. She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong. She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night. She puts her hands to the distaff, and her hands hold the spindle. She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet. She makes bed coverings for herself; her clothing is fine linen and purple. Her husband is known in the gates when he sits among the elders of the land. She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers sashes to the merchant. Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: “Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.” Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates. Proverbs 31: 10-31 (ESV)
