I opened my mouth and inserted a foot this past Sunday!

Psalm of the day,****************Psalm 119:9-16~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~How can a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed according to Your word. With my whole heart I have sought You; Oh, let me not wander from Your commandments! Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You. Blessed are You, O Lord! Teach me Your statutes. With my lips I have declared All the judgments of Your mouth. I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies as much as in all riches. I will meditate on Your precepts, and contemplate Your ways. I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I said something I shouldn't have to the wrong person and was in a whole heap of trouble with my beloved. Oh boy, it has been a long time since we have been through anything like that. I was glad to have had a picture of parents who were young lovers and older lovers and friends and partners in the struggle of life. The picture of the "couple" going to have an ice cream cone at Friendly's and my imagination of the sweet young couple sitting under Grandma Ruth's eye and then developing into the huge tree of a family that we are now is so helpful when one hit an "impass!". I really don't know how any romance could have budded under Grandma Ruth's eye.
When we watch "Bye, Bye Birdie" I think of Mommy and Daddy. A young, nearly teenage couple, loving oneanother in a simpler and strange time. They were really like that with eachother. In and out of love, like me and my sweetheart. I found so many love letters around the house from Dad to Mom, I guess that is how I learned to read; by being nosey.:)
Mom was there with him at the hospital and they looked into the future together with hope, even in the bleakest of times.
Arguments and reconciliation, help me to remember that. My parents had them and kept getting up. I guess we are going to make it through this one. Of course, he forgave me. I hope that I will learn to open my mouth with wisdom next time and stop embarrassing my children with my crass comments.
