Was everyone able to spend some quality time with their spouse sometime yearterday? Our society is so plagued (yet blessed lol) with so many luxuries, we often don't realize what a distraction they can become to us. It's nice every once in a while to just turn them all off and enjoy the serenity of peace and quiet! Remember this: most spouses do not view zoning out in front of the t.v. as quality time. Try to spend more time engaging with eachother, and less time engaged with various devices!
Today's challenge is about forgiveness.
Forgiveness is a funny thing. It is not something that you can do once and forget about it. I wish it was! I wish we could forgive like God who remembers our sins no more (Hebrews 8:12, 10:17). But unfortunately, we are human. Many times, when we forgive, we later remember what had offended us and become upset all over again! That is when we have to remind ourselves that we have already forgiven these offenses and resolve to keep them forgiven and in the past where they belong!
1 Corinthians 13 says love "thinketh no evil." Some translations state this as love "keeps no record of wrongs." Today's challenge is to do away with the mental list of your spouse's wrongs that you've been keeping. Burn it in your mind and resolve never to revisit it again.
Don't ruin today with yesterday's problems!
