LET’S BE GOOD-HEARTED – (Day 6 of 6)
(Need to start at the beginning? Day 1)
So how did your holiday week go?
[Love] does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful. 1 Corinthians 13:5 ESV
Were you able to be more loving and set down the negatives?
I did fairly well. But I must say, my time was easier because Paul went into helpful mode. He made opportunity for my introvert self to have alone time. He entertained the grandkids which, believe me, are quite the handful. He cooked, helped with clean up, and more.
I was deeply blessed by his actions and I learned from them. The simplest acts of service made life so much easier for others and we all felt a bit loved on too.
One evening I said, “Thanks for all your doing.” It’s the doing that makes the difference.
My DIL is so talented and creative.
Every year she creates little scenes out of polymer clay. This year we got the lighted Christmas tree Paul made, plus a critter-scape with a bunny in memory of Newton (our house rabbit who went to rabbit heaven this year).
