They were doing such a fine job. The day was smoothing along just blissfully ... really it was.
The morning to afternoon to evening.
Supper time.
But of course, one last errand to be run ... that NEEDED TO BE DONE ... RIGHT NOW.
This was me in my loving demeanor, patiently telling the "lucky winner"
that he'd better hurry up and eat his food if he wanted to come with me.
that he'd better hurry up and eat his food if he wanted to come with me.
(note: first time ever for someone to catch a picture of me in such a peaceful state, really. not so pretty.)
All of which was followed by a very PEACEFUL RESPONSE...

... or whaling and gnashing of teeth, as some may describe it. not me.
...by which ALL PARTIES were involved. kind of.
...but, some may have handled more appropriately than others!

OH BOY!
Oh, how I wish I could do that all the time... EVERY TIME.
Of course, I fail. I mean, who doesn't? But, that's not the point.
I am glad that when things get hairy and hectic I am able to go to that verse quickly and remember. Love. Joy. Peace. Patience. Kindness. Goodness. Faithfulness. Gentleness - ah, sweet gentleness. and Self-Control. Self-Control? I mean, what is that? It's a good thing they put that one at the end huh? ... (I know for a fact that my husband, if reading this, is probably thinking ... "she reaches for the Fruits of the Spirit? Yeah. Right.")
But I do try. And I try. And I try. And I try some more.
The point is ...you can ALWAYS COME BACK TO THEM whenever you want to, or need to, or must do. And if you ever try something just once, especially if it's good tasting you'll probably try it again. And try some more. And try some more. And more... and... you get my drift.
