August almost Over

During the last week I have traveled back and forth between home and Andalusia two times. My grandmother's husband Tom passed away so I have been trying to help with post funeral thank you notes, errands, and today we are headed to Dothan for her to get an IV infusion for her RA.



   We stopped by the Enterprise home on the way to get the infusion and there was an unfamiliar car in out driveway plus Trey's truck. I must confess the following is a pure example of how I let my emotions get control of my action's and mouth all to often. I walked in the house and darted to Trey's room for an explanation as to why he wasn't at school and who was at my parents home ( no doubt without permission... Is what I was thinking ).

  After stating rudely that he was supposed to be at school a guy named Travis appeared around the corner. He told me who he was and I asked if he had school today he said yes and I said they both needed to be on their way. Trey told me Travis had no where to stay and while that breaks my heart and I know we should meet the needs of others I let my emotions drive my actions and made sure the doors were locked and the house was empty before I left.  I felt convicted after the fact, but the fact that my parents didn't know he was there honestly made me mad and a bit frightened.

 

 

  I pray God forgives me for my attitude and actions earlier this morning. I also pray he gives me more chances to help others and change my heart so that I use both of my ears to listen and be considerate before I open my big mouth.
