Simple Little Things

There are times when even simple, little things are challenges to living in God's way and being a light for HIM to others. Simple, little, really not so important things, do you know what I mean?

For me, today, its my first weekend off in a long time, and I would LOVE to go out and do some fun things all weekend long! But my husband wants to do other things - he wants to play his guitar, watch football tomorrow - relax in his own way!

Do you ever have challenges like that? I mean, I could take the path of anger - he always has weekends off, so why can't we do what I want to do for a change???

OR I could choose the path of prayer and selflessness...

After all, isn't he entitled to want to do what he wants to do? He DID offer a compromise of doing what I want to do tomorrow night...

So, the ONLY thing for me to do is to CHOOSE TO PRAY AND TRY TO BE SELFLESS AND NOT SELFISH!

That's how marriage works! And after all, isn't it a simple, little thing? Is it that important?

(Can you tell I'm trying to talk myself into this?) :-)

Hebrews 13: 20-21

"May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing His will, and may He work in us what is pleasing to Him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen"

What about you? Do you have similar internal-battles?
