She was in pain - but so were we. You see, she has my dramatic flair. This means that we had to endure her moaning, wailing, complaining, and whining.
Ephesians 4:2 "Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love."
Synonyms for the word "bear" include: endure, carry, suffer, stand, tolerate, and support.
Although I have did my best to do the first four on that list, I struggled with the last.
When people in my life are whiny about their circumstances, I find myself tolerating but not supporting. The truth is: my last two blog posts were my whining and plea for support.
I was struck by my own hypocrisy...
They say that self-awareness is the first step in healing. I hope they are right :)
