Well, many times the Lord sends things our way to remind us how we should act vs. how we really do.

I try sooooo hard not to lose it, fly off the handle, whatever you may call it. But so often I fall short of my goal.

Well, this video sure hit home for me.
What is that?

Now the trick is to find the hugs, and not the short temper. Easier said than done, I'm afraid.

oh my god..tears rolling down my face...the most powerful short film ever...thank you so very much for sharing this with us...just amazing how touched I am at this moment. WOW!

thank you,
kim

Someone had posted this here once before. I can watch it over and over again and still cry each time. It really hits home, doesn't it?

Thank you so much for sharing that with me. Sometimes I feel like I am the only one that has the short temper. There is never a relaxing moment anymore. I must take a step back and realize my words sometimes. God will not give me more than I can handle!

Made me cry cuz I remember how I'd get upset at my mom for asking me the same thing over & over and I didn't know why. I always thought she was doing it on purpose.

DSM,
Thank you for re posting. Anita posted this in Sept I think. I also cried. I, as you said do fall short with holding my tongue and then I will say something short and I feel so bad. As we pray every day to have the patience to deal with our loved one with so much love and care that they can ask the same question so many times and we will hug them everytime. I fail more than I would like and I do think of this as we always answer our children with lots of love...so God grant us this level of patience with our LO.
You do a great job DSM, so hang in there and be kind to yourself.
((hugs))
