Boy is it ever so easy to forgot sometimes.... This was a real re-enforcement for me....I was praying for signs to know what the right thing was and did he ever come thru.....
It's interesting to reflect on how I would have acted in the past. First what my reaction would have been when he told me he went to the aquarium with the 'friend'... Pre: I would have screamed, yelled, cried, acted a like a B&&CH all thru the family dinner, making snide remarks. POST: Take a deep breath, Smiled, put on a great front, had a nice evening (still stewing inside, hey I not perfect yet...lol), enjoyed the company.
During the week: PRE: make snide remarks on the phone, start an argument, confrontation, scream some more. POST: Sat back, waited for him to call, see if he wanted to make plans, take a deep breath and pray.
I think it has something to do with the deep breath!
I like the POST much better!!!!
