It's not About Winning

It was 4:39 in the evening and I am ready to take it easy.  It had been a busy Sunday and taking off youth has been a great putting my energy into the children in the morning. 

My sil had called all freaking out at us with all the cleaning she had to do, all that she had done, and her three out of control teens.  I have to admit that about sent me over the edge.  Everyone falls for her tantrums and it just does not work for someone turning 50 soon.

At first I just wanted to shout my frustration to my husband.  Then I had to think about my prioriities.  Wha tis most important.  How I helped Mike and how I reacted to the situation.

I was proud of myself.  I was able to keep my cool and just shut up. 

Proverbs 17:28 New International Version (NIV)

28 Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent,
    and discerning if they hold their tongues.
