So this morning I awoke and started my daily plan. In my morning daze, I grabbed the laundry basket and headed downstairs to do my morning routine. This morning though I got to the washer and it was still full from yesterday. When I opened the dryer to switch the laundry over it was still full from two days ago. My anger started to bubble up to the top. I thought really, I work all day and am trying to maintain a household, keeping up with the laundry and all I ask my husband to do is to pull it out and put it on the bed. Can I not get any help with keeping this household up?
Then today's message - PATIENCE. Love is patient is the title. Ephesians's 4:2 ~ Be completely humble and gentle, be patient, bearing with one another in love. Wow, God was working today. There was a line that just struck my heart. Anger is often an emotional reaction that flows out of our own selfishness, foolishness or evil motives. Did you feel it hit me? It felt like an earthquake, after my thoughts above. Now I'm thinking, really Karen, is this important. Are you truly going to get mad at your husband over your inane desire to keep everything super clean and super organized? This seems like a you thing not a we thing and at the end of the day what really matters. So by keeping silent, keeping an open heart and being gently reminded by our Lord, I'm able to put this aside and move on with my day.
Love is patient!!! Strive to be patient today in every relationship because at the end of the day that's what God does for us. He is patient with our faults, sins and disrespect and He Love Us!
