One of the hardest things is to keep my patience all day long...every day. It takes so much discipline and seriously wears me out some days, but I just don't want to "lose it."
Ephesians 4 is a beautiful chapter that has helped me several times to improve my most cherished relationships.
Verse 31-32: "Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."
It's amazing how being kind can make such an impact in a home. I'm not perfect at this, but when I can control my bitterness and anger (those feelings that inspire me to whine about my work and responsibilities), I feel more centered, optimistic, and peaceful. Bitterness never helped anything become sweet.
