I like things my way. It's true. It has taken intention for me to learn to be flexible and generous with others’ differences. It hasn’t been an easy ride, but I really wanted to make this change.
Over ten years ago, I began praying for charity. As I studied, I learned that charity isn’t what we do it is how we are - a way of being made up of many traits. Hmmm Here are two that cause me trouble – long-suffering and not easily offended. They relate to flexibility and generosity with others’ weaknesses or the differences in how they manage life from how we manage life.
Yikes. How was God going to help me go from being inflexible and frequently annoyed and frustrated with others’ imperfections and differences to long-suffering and not easily offended?
Join me as I share part of my journey and the perfect family example of how important flexibility or charity is in a family. It matters that we are long-suffering and not easily offended!
