Sitting in the middle of Anywhere Coffee Shop
overhearing loud conversations behind me.
Mom with Baby vents to Friend about Husband.
“He doesn’t do anything I ask him to.
He says he will but it doesn’t get done!
I simply want the dishes washed and the toys
picked up. It’d take 20 minutes! But he just
wants to sit in his chair playing on his phone.”
I can’t help recalling a similar dialogue overheard
before.
Is this the way it is for every Mom and Husband?
Wouldn’t it make more sense to talk directly to the
one that’s causing the tension? Talk and talk and talk until
there’s no words left to say but only forgiveness and
love
to hand out.
Approach the frustration with open hands; eyes. Ask “what
can I learn”?
About myself?
About God?
About life?
About Husband?
Embrace the learning in the frustration and give thanks.
