Good morning world. Well, I did not get the clothes switched in one day. I did not get started till yesterday and unfortunately yesterday was not a good day for me. Not sure was wrong. I was up way too late the night before for starters. After that, I just was not doing well. Last night I checked my blood pressure and it was up. Then I realized I had not taken my medication. This is the reason I am on the Adkins diet plan. When my weight is down, blood pressure medicine is not necessary.
Today being Sunday, we will not be home. The mess will be here till tomorrow. Last night I went to the boys rooms and talked to them. I over reacted to a situation and lost my temper earlier in the day. That should have been a clue that my blood pressure was up. When the boys were very little, I had decided if I was wrong in dealing with them I would apologize to them and ask for forgiveness. Several lessons I wanted them to learn.
First and foremost, I am not perfect. I held my parents up on a pedestal for years and when I found out they were human, I remember being upset. I wanted my boys to know that even though I loved when they thought I knew everything and could do no wrong, I did not know everything and I make mistakes and wrong decisions at times.
Second, I wanted them to learn about forgiveness. I believe it is important to ask for forgiveness as well as give forgiveness. "15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins" Matthew 6:15 NIV What a better place for my boys to learn this but at home.
Am I perfect in asking for forgiveness? No. There are situations I have not been able to go to whomever I needed to ask. In those cases, I go to Jesus, asking him to forgive me and in that prayer I will ask for whomever to forgive me. In turn, when I have been wronged and they do not ask for forgiveness, I will, in prayer, tell Jesus I forgive them.
Have a forgiving Sunday!
Be blessed and be a blessing,
Just some of my thoughts and actions,
Elizabeth
