It's amazing how many people can be so nice to everyone except the people in their own homes. If a friend's mother is rude, you can cut her some slack but if your own mother offends you 'small', you can't stand it for a second.....when you're ushering at church, you smile so broadly...but when you're home with your family, you frown and act up (sometimes, your husband even wants to hide in the store because of the unpleasant look on your face!).....when your boss is late for a meeting, you say, 'that's fine Sir; i actually didn't mind waiting'....but when your wife is late in coming to sit in the car, you scream and refuse to talk for the whole drive! Really? Who's getting the better part of you? The people in your home deserve your smile, tolerance, patience, courtesy, etc. If everyone praises you....but the people closest to you can't stand up and say good things about you, there must be something questionable somewhere.
...be a blessing to everyone, especially those you live with. Cheers!
