Then I learned so much as the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and worked in my life...and I found how difficult it was to unlearn bad habits. It has been impressed on me lately how much the blood of Jesus covers all my past mistakes/sin. <br /><br />I totally know what you are saying about the children and our husbands. You are so right.

I remember when the kids ...Beautiful post, Judith!<br /><br />I remember when the kids were little I would say "You brother didn't MAKE you mad. That's not an excuse. You are responsible for your own response and actions."<br /><br />Then something would happen that would annoy me and I'd snap at them or my husband and I'd think "Hmmmm.....that didn't MAKE me mad. I am responsible for my actions....I can't blame anyone but myself." Lol! And it would just come back to "haunt" me, lol!<br /><br />I did a little *husband bashing* myself when I was first married. My friends would all complain about something their husbands did and I thought I'd join them.<br /><br />We'd all feel better and laugh and I thought it was funny at the time. I didn't realize that I should be protecting my husband's reputation and protecting his trust in me, instead of trying for a laugh at his expense.momsthewordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14519343990735608713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2929359988437892071.post-13461513695186371262012-06-03T16:12:21.608-04:002012-06-03T16:12:21.608-04:00Yes, so true.

I was scared of him a lot of the time, extremely small finances, his affairs, my anger, and on and on. God protected and gave me blessings through His family who reached out to me. After 15 years, the Lord told me to get out. More danger was beginning towards my kids. THEN, He gave me another man a year later. Dave is wonderful. Loving, giving, caring, blessing. I was 40 then... will be 67 in July. The past 27 years of marriage have been healthy and healing. Maybe not perfect as life has sometimes been stressful through my kids, g-kids, occasional job losses [on his part], etc. But, overall, between us love has not dropped or become bland. And the main reason? He is always good to me. He seldom requires that I do or not do something. He always says that if God tells me to do something, how can he overstep God? We both have different ministries and we support each other. To me, Dave has been a miracle, a blessing from my dear Father. If I become angry or intense or frustrated, the Lord has every right to slap my hand. [BTW, Dave isn't perfect, but he always treats me well and with respect. A whole different life for me.]<br /><br />Sorry to say too much, but you touched my heart -- and my fingers were used to pour it on your plate.caryjohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488368153291827383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2929359988437892071.post-76034708097087827722012-05-30T02:57:21.524-04:002012-05-30T02:57:21.524-04:00Excellent post Judith!
