Ecclesiastes 7:8 The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride.

Hello everyone, well today the verse above is striking right into the heart of today. This is the first time after a disagreement with my wife, I looked up a verse and sought some of Gods wisdom. I am looking for patience with this part of my day, and I have found it. I won't go into the details with all of you, but my pride does interfere with my life, and my marriage. I have a lot of pride, I mean a lot of pride............. Hey what can I say, I'm a man. I believe that is one thing that women don't really understand. We have pride, men want to fix everything, we want to lead everything, we want to make things right. That is the way we are programed. There are a lot of things about us guys that women just don't get, and I will probably anger some women that may read this, my wife included.

If there are women reading this, and that is cool, this blog is for anyone, and all comments are welcome, and are encouraged, but if you want to know what we guys are like and are thinking, (and mind you ladies that are reading this, that this could get me in trouble with a lot of other men,) but if you really want to know what is going through our heads, what are they really thinking, well I'll tell ya.................................... noth'in.

You know ladies you all get into really deep thoughts and conversations, and that great, but on the surface, we guys just look to make things look good, fixed, and run well. That's just the way we are, we see everything in a mechanical view, as long as it runs well, and smoothly, then that's all good.

What we don't know right off, or see right away is how we push you ladies aside, or just don't hear. Well I'm sorry. Ooh, saying, "I'm sorry" is harder than saying "I don't know".
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I bet that if you say that over and over again it probably gets easier. Ladies we are turds, sorry it may be gross, but we are turds, we're sorry, keep with us, and know that our best intentions are first, for the most part, and we are trying. You ladies are beautiful, smart, and very strong. That's the way God made you. You all are more than we have ever given you credit. Ladies we love you, you all are also our lives, and you all do keep us grounded more than you know. We thank you, we love you, we appreciate you, and respect you. I pray daily for my wife, I pray for strength, courage, and understanding under our Lord Jesus Christ, everyday. God made my bride an extremely strong person, there is nothing she couldn't do, I love her so much. I feel so much in debt to God for giving her to me as my partner in life, as my wife, as my lover, as my best friend.

Heavenly Father, my Lord and savior, I give you my wife, and my family, and my life, Father forgive me for my sins, my pride, and my imperfectness. I love you more than I could possibly speak, I ask that you hold my bride close to you and give her the strength that she needs to put up with me, and her days. Thank you Lord for her, she is my life.
In the name of your son Jesus Christ I pray,
amen
