Oct. 25, 2007 - Have you ever done this?
Sometimes I wonder why my DH puts up with me. I cause problems when I do the exact opposite and start wondering why I put up with problems HE causes (BTW, it’s real life-shattering stuff, as you probably know. Not.) Every once in awhile, I get fed up or just so aggravated with a situation that I feel like I shouldn’t have the inconvenience HE has caused. Then I do something like shoot off a venting email to let him know the trouble he’s caused and how ticked I am. Then I talk to him on the phone, before he’s read said email, and, while I’m thinking but not saying he’s causing me trouble, he has the nerve to say, ever so gently, "Don’t let me cause you trouble. I made a mistake – don’t let that ruin your day." Gosh darn it. He won’t even let me stay mad at him. Now I’m ticked all over again. ;o) You know the verse: A gentle answer turns away wrath but a harsh word stirs up anger." I think that’s Proverbs 15:1. Then there’s "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry." I guess if I’d feed on the Word more, I’d eat less crow, eh?
