Today the Lord gave me a true perspective of what it means to offer space. I was supposed to be at one of our properties today for a showing. However on Tuesday a group I am working with realized we were not going to complete our project for school and had to schedule time to meet on this evening. Well there was absolutely no way I would have made it from Baltimore to DC in time for the meeting had I led the showing. I had to ask Bryan to fill in the gap.
Initially he said it would be no problem, but as the time approached today he was not too happy about having to change his plans and he needed to let me know. So today I honored my husband with space, space in terms of air space so he could vent his frustrations about having to make the change. As I pondered on his need to vent about this issue, I also wondered how often the Lord allows us space to vent about whatever we may feel is not going according to plan. I'm so grateful he offers space by providing mercy and grace.
Wives of the world how do you honor your husband's with space? Do you allow him the space to vent his frustrations, even when you may not agree with the contexts of the conversation? Please share your stories with us; we would love to hear from you.
Blessings,
Rochelle
