"Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." Romans 12:17-21
"A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered. Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue." Proverbs 17:27-28
May you know that your Lord wants to have your spouse set free from the bondages of sin that they have opened their lives to by being either tempted or being tested. Our Lord God wants each of us to have Him first in our lives. Today pray that your spouse's spiritual eyes that are blinded by the world and Satan will see the truth of God's good news. May we celebrate our Lord being alive every day of our lives!
"I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness." Isaiah 42:6-7
"A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered. Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue." Proverbs 17:27-28
It's been quite a while. It seems that you are making a number of breakthroughs over here. I love the slow dance story. So romantic, and what a nice surprise!
I like the discussion of DBing, Part the Second, as Piecing has its own set of challenges. It's so difficult to be here, and you thought that getting over the newcomers hump was hard! For me, "winning" S. back and then getting hurled into the Piecing cauldron made me wonder if I really wanted what I asked for. In your cse, it seems that the answer is a resounding Yes.
