Speak the Truth

Did you Marry the Right Person?

“Many marriages would be better if the husband and the wife clearly understood that they are on the same side.”

Did you Marry the Right Person?

“I have no way of knowing whether or not you married the wrong person, but I do know that many people have a lot of wrong ideas about marriage and what it takes to make that marriage happy and successful. I’ll be the first to admit that it’s possible that you did marry the wrong person. However, if you treat the wrong person like the right person, you could well end up having married the right person after all. On the other hand, if you marry the right person, and treat that person wrong, you certainly will have ended up marrying the wrong person. I also know that it is far more important to be the right kind of person than it is to marry the right person. in short, whether you married the right or wrong person is primarily up to you.”

Words of Wisdom

Taking a quick lunch break.  Pinterest is now my friend.  It is also the greatest time waster ever.  I love it anyway.

Accept Yourself

Endure Patiently What You Cannot Avoid Conveniently

Today he is being nice.  It always seems to happen this way.  I reach a boiling point.  I come vent here.  He decides to be nice again and then I feel bad for babbling about all of it.

A quote I saw today:

“A man must learn to endure patiently what he cannot avoid conveniently.”
Michel de Montaigne

Kinda summed up my current situation for me – I am trying to wait patiently for either him to wise up or for my kids to be grown since it seems I cannot conveniently avoid him.  Divorce would certainly not be convenient.

A Little Inspiration Today

We do the small.  He does the BIG.

We do what we can do, He does what we cannot do.

God will never take you where he has never been.

An Attitude of Gratitude

“An attitude of gratitude shows a lot about the character of a person.”
Joyce Meyer

Seems fitting for the holiday.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Patience

Patience is not the ability to wait, but how you act while you’re waiting.
~Joyce Meyer
