Proverbs 25:24
Ugh! Have ya ever had one those moments when you read something that just gives you that "light bulb" smack? A convicted "ouch"! Well this is one of those, ladies this is not directly intended for us, but for the guys too! King Solomon said, "Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife" (Proverbs 25:24 NIV). (Or husband) Words are not the only way to be quarrelsome, body language, a look, you know rolling your eyes, hands on hips, or folding our arms in that "really?" moment. Folks, we really need to check ourselves, God entrusted us with person who He feels is meant for us, to "put up with" for our entire lives.. we really need to be more in a 50/50 frame of mind and not in 100% "me me me" frame of mind... Now here is the kicker, we have that exact frame of mind with God. He gives and we take! Most of the time very impatiently... we roll our or eyes, hands on hips, and fold our arms, today we really need to step back and examine ourselves in BOTH relationships!

Interesting , Tammy,. Your words also ‘smacked’ me right on the face in my relationship with God. I always expect Him to give 100% while I take and give 0%…sigh. Lord help me to change my attitude today. Amen!
