Peaceful Fruit

I woke up in a mood. It wasn’t a good mood. I have searched my mind for why, and haven’t come up with anything other than loss of focus on Sunday.

Perhaps I was just moody.

Perhaps I was disappointed in myself.

"Man who is born of a woman is few of days and full of trouble.”- Job 14:1

I don’t like it when I am not kind. I don’t like having to ask for forgiveness.

So I asked the Lord for strength, and my husband for forgiveness.

I cannot take my frustrated words or attitude back. I don’t know if I will have another day to “wake up on the right side of the bed”.

I do have this moment.

“For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.”- Hebrews 12:11

Thankful for more time to strive for better. Determined to make the time worth it. Focused.
