Put the shoe on the other foot

When I don't like some little flaw I see, I'm resolved to be quiet.  I'm resolved to love God and continue to love my husband.  Perhaps in being quiet, I'll learn something about self control and I know I need more of that.  Put the shoe on the other foot.  If my husband reminded me of every flaw and little besetting sin or habit he noticed, how offended I might be!  I'm so glad he extends grace to me as I grow in Christ.  Lord willing, I will extend that same grace to him always.
