In reply to Edjumpoff. Yes, only recently I received a new measure of God's grace and I can no longer sit in judgement of someone else. I totally get what you are saying. Receiving this grace has set me free from the bondage of trying, striving, and judging others for their trying and striving.

Christine I can totally relate and have learned to do the same thing, focus on the positive aspects of my husband. I think we need to do this with everyone in our lives and those who for only a minute cross our paths. As humans we are so pron to judge others by an action or the way they present them selves. I have to sit back at times and realize I do not know this person or what they are going through, maybe they just need some prayer.

In reply to Christine. "My unhappiness was center stage." That's good. (well, not good but I totally get it.)Thanks for sharing.

Oh yes. Deadly thinking is such a poisonous thing. It took me a long time to realize this was a big problem of mine. A lot of it had to do with my childhood. I had to learn to re-parent myself and shift my way of thinking. My sweet husband helped me so much on this very thing!! I still have to be very aware of how I’m thinking about things. I’m so thankful God doesn’t leave me in these kinds of messes! 😉

We went through a period in our marriage when my unhappiness was center stage. And my thought-life was so negative toward my husband! I blamed everything on him. Then I realized that it was ME that needed to change. Now I focus on the positives in my husband (of which there are tons!). Great post!!
