This will sound silly, but I remembered I needed to bake muffins.
I was going to listen to a 9 min. video teaching and took my computer
to kitchen with me. I had volume on high so I could hear it while I moved
around. I just started gathering the things I needed, when my husband
yelled at me, "WILL YOU TURN THAT THING DOWN ? " Angry with him
I clicked the X and clicked the shut off. I brought my computer in and
sat it down, plugged it back in. Angrily took off for the kitchen, slammed
around and began mixing the batter by hand, he comes in and said, "let
me do that." I was angry and said I am doing fine. And I was nearly finished.
He spoke in an angry tone and said, " Oh, go ahead, and take out your anger
on the stirring. " I calmly said, I can do it. He said, "I am going to my bedroom."
But, he ended up in the kitchen again.
What made me happy? The Lord helped me hold my tongue. ( that is something
I have been having a hard time doing lately.) Yes, I was angry, but I sinned not.
The Lord Jesus made me happy by managing to keep me quiet, and let peace rule.
Isn't our Lord wonderful ?
