1 Corinthians 13:5
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
ugh.
this is supposed to be teach me thursday... but it's more of a confession...
this fabulous verse... it doesn't apply just to our romantic lives - but to all... including our children.
RUDE
* when i snap a sarcastic remark at my child, i belittle his feelings or worth
SELF-SEEKING
*honestly, most of the things that get on my nerves are selfish - random noises i find annoying, disruption of "me" time
EASILY ANGERED
* this cannot be excused with "i'm tired", "it's been a rough week", when i do this and excuse this - i am the anti-example of CHRIST :(
KEEPS NO RECORDS OF WRONGS
* youch... when i remind him of all he has done wrong (or do so to my husband)... i am not showing the forgiving grace...
All of these are components of GRACE... here is to a new week, and the GRACE of GOD to try again!
