A time table on her anger.....I can't give you one but but assured that it will spend itself......and the idea of both of you raising the children as friends will re-emerge.manxxmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04356862387136173023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657524303983911401.post-6462309749637755922009-11-04T01:26:51.269-05:002009-11-04T01:26:51.269-05:00One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross ...One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and started out. As they sailed across, Jesus settled down for a nap. But soon a fierce storm came down on the lake. The boat was filling with water, and they were in real danger. The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!”<br /><br /> When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and the raging waves. Suddenly the storm stopped and all was calm. Then he asked them, “Where is your faith?”<br /><br />Jim. It is a real storm, there are real waves. The danger is there and seems overwhelming, even as your boat fills with water.<br /><br />And ON YOUR OWN.... your boat will fill and will sink; your lighthouse will fail. But you are not on your own.<br /><br />This is hard. The anger is real.<br /><br />But there is peace in the midst of the storm.... <br /><br />THere is a hand to calm the waves and still the storm. And it is not a mythological creature from the ether realm. It is in the hadns and feet of those of us who have walked this path before. <br /><br />Peace, be still. Know that the storm will pass. And you will survive.<br /><br />Jim<br />emerging identityJRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13240995208582382592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657524303983911401.post-20953272248027617482009-11-04T00:36:30.763-05:002009-11-04T00:36:30.763-05:00My wife, whose anger has led me to a go very slow ...My wife, whose anger has led me to a go very slow approach to all of this, said to me that things have to get worse before they can get better. Let her be angry - she probably needs to work through that before you can really be 'best friends' again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
