Leave a cute and flirty note for your husband to find.
“A simple word can renew hope.”
Lois Mayday Rabey
Keep it simple today. Put a Post-it in his briefcase, on his dashboard, in his wallet, anywhere that he will find it. Make it fun, make it flirty, but just make sure he is the one who will find it. (Wink-wink.)

Let’s Be More Specific
I gave you that list in case this whole exercise is a challenge for you. If it feels uncomfortable leaving a note for your husband, it you get writer’s block even when the blank page is post-it note sized, just use one of the above phrases to get you started.
However, if you’re comfortable, and can get a little more personal, I would highly encourage you to do so.
“Specific praise is far better than general praise.”

Prayer for Today
Wherever he is God, remind my husband that he is loved and thought of.
Getting Creative
Think about your husband’s day and all the places he might find the note:
• His car’s spare change tray
• His drawer in the bathroom
• Under his car keys
• Your mailbox
• In his shoe
• In the medicine cabinet
It’s also very important that he find it when no one else is around.
I once decorated my husband’s lunch bag with hearts and little notes saying how much I loved him. He took the opportunity to let me know that it was better if we kept those things private.
Project Reports
“I had planned to put a note in his suitcase for his trip to LA, but I didn’t have time to pull it together, so instead, I will decorate his home office with romantic notes. We used to do so many romantic things for each other when we were dating, but we are so loaded with responsibilities with our children that we can’t seem to get the daily stuff done. It also got me thinking about the many sweet and incredibly romantic things he did for me when we were dating and newly married. I know that it will stir up memories for him too.”

My fiancé called on his way to work the morning after I left the note and said he is grateful to have a woman like me in his life. Yay!!
my husband also told me he appreciated the note, and that it made his day! woohoo!
Okay, my husband let me know when he got home that he really liked his note. Guess it wasn’t stuck to his behind. Good thing I guess.
my husband who is a supportive stepfather and even greater grandfather has recently began serving the Lord recently. I have been praying over him and with him for the past couple of years. i praise him, encourage him, support him, adore him and most of all tell him how much i love him throughout the day with txts, calls and admiration when i see him. i know God has given me a companion whom i am truly grateful for and looking forward to a blessed life with this amazing new man!
My husband is a very unselfish man, I love him so much. He loves me unconditionally! When he wakes up every morning he calls and tells me “Ilove you”. I stick a note in his cell phone so when he opens and It says” I thank God everyday for one more day with you”…
I Love you my Love…
Oh my! I think Chris sat on his note and never saw it. I ran out last night a put it on his truck seat. When I spoke to him this mornning he never said anything. Maybe he just forgot or maybe he is walking around the lab with a post it on his butt! That would make it all the better. hum…… what to pray for?
Love to hide secret notes for my guy – I texted him an “I love you” early this morning so it was waiting for him when he got up and started getting dressed. I also wrote it in the steam of the mirror while he was taking a shower.
I have not had to get up and make coffee in years…my hubby gets up every morning before I do and makes me coffee, gets the kids in the shower and all the while being careful not to wake me up, needless to say I need much more sleep than he does to function well during the day. I put a post it on the coffee maker tonite telling him how blessed I am to have a husband who loves me enough to know my weaknesses and dosn’t fault me for them, but picks up the slack and does it with a smile 🙂 thanks for this challenge, I appreciate my guys so much 🙂
My fiancé & I balance 9 kids (ages 1-18 yrs) through conflicting schedules–he works days & I work nights. So, the only quality time we get is at the dinner table. Tonight when I packed his lunch, I enclosed a folded napkin that read, “Everyday I miss you more & more. I can’t wait til dinnertime” on the outside fold and “I love you.” on the centerfold.
okay, so tonite my husband asked me to allow him to practice “street witnessing” with him so we went to our local tea house, sat in the back room and he practiced witnessing to me. He did very well, he had all the scriptures, and I could tell he had really been practicing. I was so proud of him! I just put a note in his car, letting him know that I was proud of him, that I had fun and that we should do that again!
Well, my husband has to work tomorrow and right now he is out installing a baby monitor in his daughters car. Sooooooo, I think I will run for his car now.
My husband and I work at the same company. We carpool to work together, but I leave at 2pm everyday and he stays until 5:30. He carpools home with a co-worker who lives nearby, but sometimes carpooler isn’t at work, so he finds an alternate ride home. His last resort is the Metro train. He sacrifices the comforts of taking his own car to drive with me in the morning. I will leave him a note of thanks and appreciation for Driving Miss Debbie to work!
