LOVE DARE DAY 6

                                                 Love-GardenofFlowersLD-Day6-980x768
                                                                                           ~DAY 6
 He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty,and he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city.
                                                                                     Proverbs 16:32

                     Love is hard to offend and quick to forgive.
                    How easily do you get irritated and offended?
                   If you are like me it may depend on the day.  Some days I am easily hurt!
                   Minor things bring on BIG reactions! Not exactly the response that's loving.
Why do people become irritable?
1)Stress: we’re all familiar with it. It drains and weakens us. It’s an open door for irritability. Stress can be caused by relational causes such as arguing and bitterness. It can be caused by excesses such as overworking, overspending, or overplaying. It can also be caused by deficiencies such as not enough exercise, nutrition, or rest.
2) Selfishness: Insecurity or selfishness can send us spiraling down a road of irritability!

Love will lead you to forgive instead of holding a grudge.

                                                                                    ~~TODAY"S DARE~~
  CHOOSE TODAY TO REACT TO TOUCH CIRCUMSTANCES IN YOUR MARRIAGE IN LOVING WAYS INSTEAD OF WITH IRRITATION. BEGIN BY MAKING A LIST OF AREAS WHERE YOU NEED TO ADD MARGIN TO YOUR SCHEDULE. THEN LIST ANY WRONG MOTIVATIONS THAT YOU NEED TO RELEASE FROM YOUR LIFE.

Where do you need to add margin in your life?
When have you recently overreacted?
What was your real motivation behind it?
What decisions have you made today?
