E-mail from my wonderful, caring Hubby

I love you to no end.....

Your Hubby


The High Cost of Getting Even


Do not try to punish others
when they wrong you, but wait for God
to punish them with his anger.

Romans 12:19

Have you ever noticed in the western movies how the bounty hunter travels
alone? It's not hard to see why. Who wants to hang out with a guy who
settles scores for a living?

Who wants to risk getting on his bad side? More than once I've heard a
person spew his anger. He thought I was listening, when really I was
thinking, I hope I never get on his bad list,

Cantankerous sorts, these bounty hunters. Best leave them alone. Hang out
with the angry and you might catch a stray bullet. Debt-settling is a lonely
occupation. It's also an unhealthy occupation....

If you're out to settle the score, you'll never rest. How can you? For one
thing, your enemy may never pay up. As much as you think you deserve an
apology, your debtor may not agree. the racist may never repent. The
chauvinist may never change. As Justified as you are in your quest for
vengeance, you may never get a penny's worth of justice. And if you do, Will
it be enough?

Tonight before Bob left work, he sent me this email. Parts of it are from a devotional book that he was reading today. It's amazing how it speaks volumes regarding an incident going on in my life right now.

Thanks Bob for just knowing what I needed today and for reminding me what's right. I love you.
