It may be time to for a dramatic shift in power. It seems as if my stifled dictatorship is no longer effective. Maybe, dare I say, a democracy should evolve? Thanks to a new prescription, I've gained a little clarity in the ol' noggin and some perspective on the world. My world. I am beginning to decipher what is age appropriate, husband and wife appropriate, and overall what-can-be-accepted-as-the-norm.
Somewhere in this clarity I've realized the people we are most likely to clash with are those who we are most alike. In my rule as an iron fist dictator, all in the name of love of coarse, I've come to see that I have created a 6 year old daughter who is just like me. She stands firm in her belief, one of which she rules the roost. Uh oh. I've read some books, compared notes with friends and I remain calm most of the time. I just need to figure how to prove my point while teaching a good lesson and not an example of power.
A quick list from the most active part of my brain right now, the things I will pray about and work on this week, and when given the opportunity, practice:
Patience
Understanding
Compassion
Peace
Consistency
Nurturing
Teaching
Being an example.
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10
