The Little Things in Life

Day Three was actually two days ago but while getting to a computer around here isn't necessarily difficult anymore, having the wireless modem at the same time is. I also have my assistant trying to help me type currently...which means for a two year old getting in the way. Have I also mentioned how much I don't like digital reception versus analog? But that's another topic entirely and not one I'm prepared to get into tonight. At least if it got a bit snowy I didn't miss anything...but when the digital looses reception.

SO....day three: Love is not Selfish. When a husband puts his interests, desires and priorities in front of his wife, that's a sign of selfishness. Yeah, tell me about it. I live with it every day. When a wife constantly complains about the time and energy she spends meeting the needs of her husband, that's a sign of selfishness.  Ouch. The Spirit has convicted me of such matters, too. The time I spend complaining to my mother about how selfish he is, that still small voice (Spirit does not yell, after all he is a gentleman) gently questions, "Are you being just as selfish, though, by complaining?" Then I try to ignore Him, allowing my inner torment and frustration drown Him out. 

 So not only is it important then for me to bite my tongue, something that becomes quite difficult sometimes...but I have to actually seek out ways for him to feel loved by me. This is going to take a bit of work, especially on the nights when I'm most tired, crabby, irritable... It will be a struggle. It better be worth it.
