Don’t take things for granted, be thankful for every little thing in life and realize that every little event counts. Your small decisions can affect your ‘big picture’ as well. Think things through logically or at least try. Emotions may get in the way of decision making - but try to think outside the box as if you were on the outside looking into a situation – what does it look like? What should be done? What’s the right thing to do? Go with your gut feeling and ask God to guide you. Do you walk in the light of God? I will continue to try as best I can.
I just opened a (mini) bible of Psalms and Proverbs that I have on my desk (New Testament). Here’s what I saw first:
“By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.” Hebrews 11:3
Communication:
It’s always good to talk things through…yelling, confusion or miscommunication can lead to arguments and disappointment. Ask questions to get to the root of what the issue is, then try to think first… even if you need a few minutes, it’s ok say that. Then come back and ask the other person if it’s ok to discuss the issue again. Ask the right questions to gain clarity. Try not to be quick to judge. Try to reverse the situation and ask yourself this – are you acting rationally? Let the other person explain. This is not easy, it must be practiced over and over until you get better.
