My husband, Kregg, is a most patient man. Which is a very good thing since I am a slow learner.
I have written before in this place about the role of "help meet". The Lord continues to instruct, and though I am learning, I still mess it up at times. In the midst of all the fun and company over the last week, I forgot to put Kregg first. I actually resented requests he made of me instead of cheerfully looking for ways to serve him and honor him. Thankfully, the Lord and Kregg are forgiving and loving. I asked their forgiveness and trust that, through His Grace, I can do better next time things are extraordinarily busy. But, since confession is good for the soul, there it is.
Learning to walk more in the center of His Will, I continue to be a work-in-progress.
I love your honesty and transparency. Sometimes I think my husband needs a "Proverbs 31" chapter and it should begin "Who can find a forgiving man? His worth is far more than diamonds!"
ReplyDeleteThank you for being so honest over here, we all fall short in many ways but we are learning, I have to admit I'm a slow learner too :-0
ReplyDeleteI also find it difficult at times to help and honor, when what I really want to say is "What about me?! I want it to be all about ME!" It's a good thing that I married a patient man. ;)
