Having a friend can be great. Someone to talk to. Someone to listen to you when you have a bad day. Someone you can go to when problems arise. It wasn’t till recently that I realized that just by listening to a friend I could learn alot about myself and the way I run my family.
Alot of my friends are going through struggles right now , some are big and some are small and it has really made me stop and think about how some of the problems I have are so small. So much that it has been helping me change my attitude about how I handle them. Im talking about little arguments with the kids and my husband. Wether it be about the house being a mess, being mad because your husband didnt put the kids to bed,or forgot to give me that important note from school.
We don’t really know how lucky we are with what God has given us. At the time we get soo upset and it really seems to matter at the moment. Then when you stop and think about what your friends are going through you find yourself rethinking the whole situation.
If you have a close friend that you talk to remember the next time you get upset about something how much worse it could be. Not saying it will make you feel anyless angry but it sure does help and with a little practice you may start seing the lighter side.
