...is the Lord!
This may seem small to some, but it is not to me...
Lately I find myself being aggrivated a lot with my husband in regards to housework -- more than normal. It is in my nature to just think about it for days till one day he just aggrivates me one time too many and I blow...
This morning I was washing dishes....dishes I thought he should have done yesterday when he was at home and I was working.
I found I was beginning to get aggrivated again and I started talking to the Lord about how I did not want to resent him because if I did I would not be able to be a blessing to him.
Then it came to me....
Whenever I begin to feel aggrivated and resentful for him not helping me as I know he should, instead of allowing myself to get all worked up, I should just pray God's will and blessings for him...not my typical "Lord, why doesn't this man help me more".
So I determined to do so...and began to...right that instant as I washed the dishes.
Within five minutes he came in the kitchen and began helping me clean up!
True that he did not do everything I think he should have, but it's a start....
God is definitely confirming his "let it go and give it to ME" message everywhere I turn....
Thing is, this is not something I didn't know....just something I need to be kicked in the butt for every once in a while. I can be quite a control freak sometimes...
:D
