A while ago Duane was talking to me from his work.

Selah!

I love that… But not this particular conversation. We had a new couch coming soon with two new end tables. Beautiful!  I had told him he needs to hire someone to take the couch out or see if the furniture store guys (Schneiderman’s) would move it out into the garage for us… He put it off and I was getting concerned.

In this unpleasant conversation he humbugged me at men being stronger than woman. Now this is something that we both firmly believe: for the most part, a man is stronger than a woman, having more upper body strength. So this also bugged me…

Selah.

I had decided how I would deal with this before he came home (without malice and without ungodly anger!) But: the very next day as he just started coming in the house, Duane apologized to me immediately and it almost brought tears to my eyes…  My repentant and godly man apologized about his unkind (yes, unkind) words. He is aware that I am not very physically strong when it comes to moving and lifting. He apologized for saying he would get Sue to help him (a neighbor I very much dislike.) He understood he was 100% wrong: and not only that, but mean spirited…

His apology went a long, long way!

LESSON:
Men, sometimes you are jerks!

AND: so are we!

Apologize when you are and call us to do the same!

Selah.
