Don't wait until it's a crisis to give her your attention. She may be letting it build up, because she can't find a way into your life, you're so busy. You've always got something else to do other than listen to her. Listen to her needs; listen to her heart; listen to those frustrations and problems when they're small, when they're manageable. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/human-kindling-6662 2012-08-06T09:57:12-05:00 Maybe we should pray, "Dear Lord, I want to be water, and not wood on the fires around me." http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hard-times/the-yes-the-no-and-the-wait-6493 2011-11-30T10:23:28-05:00 You'll one day thank your Father for the things He denied or the things He postponed for your good. Relax, let your Father drive. You'll love the destination. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Personal-Power/What-s-Eating-Your-Home-3821 2008-07-30T16:43:11-05:00 You can hear some of the sounds of deterioration--the angry words that are causing such deep wounds...or that chilly silence...or the negativism. Far more comments on what people are doing wrong than what they're doing right...the exasperation, the frustration over not being listened to. Don't ignore those "sounds in the walls". The longer you do, the harder it's going to be to repair the damage. If there's growing tension or growing distance, or growing hard feelings or frustration, then it's time for radical action. It's time to attack what's eating your home.
