Encouraging and equipping moms to parent with God's grace and confidence.

A Little Love Goes a Long Way!

Welcome friends! If you are found your way here through my Encouragement for Today devotion, I’m so glad you stopped by. I’ve got two things for you today. First,  the short and fun post below along with a BOOK give-away. Also I’ve got a link that will take you to the rest of the story of what God did that day I wrote about in my devotions – and how He gave me new direction and purpose as a mom -along with a chance to win my “Purpose-Driven Mom Gift Pack.” {The link is at the end of this post.}

   “A simple word can renew hope.”
Lois Mayday Rabey

When she wrote The Husband Project, her goal was simple: create 21 simple, and inexpensive projects for women who wanted to bless their husband. {I love simple!}

In her book, The Husband Project, my oh-so-fun friend and author Kathi Lipp helps us do everything we can to love on our man –  from planning a guy-date to getting him a pint of his favorite Ben & Jerry’s. And I loved hearing how one of the most effective “Projects” was also the simplest: Write him some Post-it Note sized encouragement.

Post-It Note Challenge – Write Something Fun or Flirty for Your Man!

Are you ready to show your man a little love today? If so, here are your instructions:

  1. Grab a Post-it
  2. Write something, fun, flirty, or a little scandalous on it {we give you permission…}
  3. Put that Post-it somewhere where only HE will find it

It can be words of encouragement, something sweet or flirty and so on. Leave the post it where only he will find it. It can be in his briefcase, wallet, on his car steering wheel, underwear drawer, tool box, whatever he is going to open or use today. Below, Kathi has listed 21 ideas to get you started thinking. If you need to, use one from the list below. OR make up your own Post-It Love note – cause a little LOVE goes a long way.

21 Post-It-Sized Encouragements

  2. Those jeans are really working for you…
  3. I love you.

  4. The longer we are married, the richer our relationship becomes. Thank you for being the best husband to me.

  6. “I have prayed about you since I was a little girl and I am so honored that God answered my prayer. Thank you for 25 glorious years!”

  10. You are my everything. You are a true blessing from God. You are my Always and Forever!!!!

  16. Baby, I woke up today with a prayer in my heart and a smile on my face as, in the midst of our family and house-hunting struggles, I knew that with a man like you beside me, God has truly blessed me and my home is wherever you are! You are an awesome hubby and daddy and God is so faithful for giving me you! Have a peacefilled day!

  17. Good morning! I love the occasional love note or anything that makes my husband smile when we’re apart. I would use caution on the content though. Once I put a “suggestive” note in my husband’s lunch bag and his boss got it by mistake – LOL!

  20. Thank you for showing me what unconditional love looks like. I am so proud your my man 🙂
