I’m not going to lie, I spent the first few moments alone stewing. But then something happened, something that left me reeling. God said “give it to me”.
Now if you know me, you know I am one grudge-holding, stubborn girl. So for me to give up an argument is crazy talk! Almost instantly, a song came to mind.
He’s able
He’s able
I know He’s able
I know my Lord is able to carry me through
With that song ringing in my head, the remaining bit of my evening with filled with singing and praying. The next morning as I woke before him, that feeling was still there.
That simple sentence changed the atmosphere and set the tone for our day. I could see his face soften. I could watch the outcome be rewritten before me.
I chose respect.
I chose to give respect a chance because I am a Christian and try (emphasis on try) to follow the Bible’s teachings on how to live. An attitude of disrespect cuts into a man’s heart like a knife and twists the blade far beyond the moments of meanness from his wife.
Chosing respect always works out for the best in the long run! Blessings to you!
