You would think after over 22 years of marriage that I would have learned to control my anger when I get frustrated. I can honestly say that there are many times where I blow up at my beautiful Beckie or kids for silly or small, manini-kine reasons.

I’m still learning that I need to…
Look out for:
~ Other things bothering me in life (relationships, work, people that irritate me).
~ Being tired and overworking.
~ Being frustrated within myself, because of myself (failing, falling short of expectations I have of myself)
~ Not getting proper rest
~ Feeling “junk” about myself (looks, comparing myself with others)
~ Not getting adequate exercise
~ Expecting my wife or kids to be or act or live according to “My ways and desires.”

I’d better stop there before I get too down on myself! I’m so thankful for the conviction God gives me in my heart to ask for forgiveness and grace from Him, my Beckie and kids. I am also very-very grateful for their grace and love for me - the imperfect husband and father that I am. My hope is in Jesus, to transform my life…day to day!

Thanks for your unconditional love Jesus… and Honee!
