Day 1: Love is Patient

Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. --Ephesians 4:2
Dare:

Although love is communicated in a number of ways, our words often reflect the condition of our heart. For the next day, resolve to demonstrate patience and to say nothing negative to your spouse at all. If the temptation arises, choose not to say anything. It's better to hold your tongue than to say something you'll regret.


After the morning I had, I'm not sure how I pulled this off. It was one thing after the other, & all before 7:30 am. After having to leave work, drive home, then turn around and go straight back... I turned off my radio & prayed for Shane. I prayed for our relationship, & I prayed that God would give me the patience today. When I got home, it was SO easy to sit & just enjoy my time with him. We laughed, joked, talked about our day, and just enjoyed each other. I found myself biting my tounge once or twice, but each time I was reminded of how patient God is with me, JUST BECAUSE he loves me. It sounds so simple... right?
