When we hear differently than what is actually being said we need to ask ourselves truly what is the other person's intent? I know my husband loves me, wants the best for me and would never say or do anything to hurt me. It's not him at all, so I can sidestep the frustrations of communication when I think or ask myself...was it his intent to demand, or make me feel this way...absolutely not, so I can smile and seek understanding with a much more clear and pure heart. Words can be so silly and tricky.elizabeth embracing lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09876091343873784997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636139298576673779.post-46374575500208260262008-07-22T10:24:00.000-04:002008-07-22T10:24:00.000-04:00Thanks for doing your research, this is a great re...Thanks for doing your research, this is a great reference article. <BR/><BR/>I appreciated the author's concluding thought on his first point, "By following the principle of first response, we were being called to take a poorly spoken comment and redirect it."<BR/><BR/>This will take a little work (and self-control) but the results are worth it.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02267674745837713337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636139298576673779.post-3579083406918000182008-07-22T08:32:00.000-04:002008-07-22T08:32:00.000-04:00This is good.

Words can kill and we let our guard down when we are with family...well because they are family and the ones we love most are the ones we hurt the most. There are so many things and words I wish I could take back. But thankfully we have forgiveness. And even that takes time.<BR/>Thanks for sharing this today. I needed reminding.<BR/>Blessings,<BR/>DarleneDarlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04874884804640126359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636139298576673779.post-81651520135596972032008-07-22T08:07:00.000-04:002008-07-22T08:07:00.000-04:00Oh if I didn't know how tough that first year can ...Oh if I didn't know how tough that first year can be.....looking back I'm sure they'll get a laugh of two, huh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636139298576673779.post-68053867347565200962008-07-22T08:03:00.000-04:002008-07-22T08:03:00.000-04:00Sue- this is fantastic- just what I needed this mo...Sue- this is fantastic- just what I needed this morning!<BR/><BR/>Blessings!<BR/>KarenKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02045194578759966303noreply@blogger.com
