He has enabled me to do this by living up to my expectations most of the time. But when he doesn't I suddenly seem to forget all the good he has done, and that he almost ALWAYS gets it right!HisPrincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09280023568262170003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694745363165624335.post-8243119617579031452008-06-11T08:32:00.000-04:002008-06-11T08:32:00.000-04:00Guilty as charged!

Or worse, I communicate them but somehow things are lost in the translation from Venus to Mars...(men are from Mars...). I have found that when I am able to let things go, EVERYONE is happier, including me.<BR/><BR/>But my tongue is bleeding from biting it!!!! It's hard to be quiet! May God help me control the rudder of this ship!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00458659497370768232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694745363165624335.post-8397856281071591322008-06-11T08:17:00.000-04:002008-06-11T08:17:00.000-04:00Our expectations are not always translated upon sp...Our expectations are not always translated upon spouse and children--that is for sure! Even with good communication of these things, sometimes the circumstances at the time overshadow what we're supposed to be doing.<BR/><BR/>(And it's so affirming to know that you are needed as a mom and a wife in these times!)<BR/><BR/>But, I know I have had to build up quite a history of blunders before putting these times into perspective. God teaches through just these circumstances.<BR/><BR/>"May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word." 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17Sue J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08668691234427771146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694745363165624335.post-19718122036404097722008-06-11T06:53:00.000-04:002008-06-11T06:53:00.000-04:00Thank you for the uplifting message.

May God continue to work on my character to smooth out the rough edges that get caught up in the dissappointments so things can just roll on off! Good job handling the messy den!The Patterson 5https://www.blogger.com/profile/11365182817547393631noreply@blogger.com
