How very refreshing, Nancy. I imagine that if I could conquer annoyance my entire family would rise up and call me blessed! Sometimes it seems an impossible task, but I know the promises of God are never trite or silly. Yes, ditto on the “Ouch!” and the “Oh!” How very refreshing, Nancy.

Isn't that the way of things -- the little stuff trips us up so much more often!

Can't wait to try this out. Daily opportunity awaits! Even if my husband and I don't totally have the judicious demeanor thing down yet, at least so far our children get LOTS of opportunity to see what it looks like to have to humble yourself and apologize. :) Boy I sure could have used that council a few Saturdays ago!

I guess I never really come at everyday situations having pre-prayed for the wisdom to get through a situation. This was a wonderful few paragraphs for me. Thank you so much for posting this.
