So today's situation was a bit challenging. I called and invited my daughter's In Laws To Be for Thanksgiving Day at our home. I was not aware that my daughter had planned to spend Thanksgiving Day with them. That was the first mix up. Suffice it to say that the whole thing devolved from there. Ugh! I was trying to do something good but ended up offending my daughter. Not my intentions at all.
As a Christian Woman I really try to live the principles I find in God's Word. Principles that I believe are relevant and meant to guide our daily lives. And in the end those principles did save the day. The Mother In Law to Be called and we talked over the communication mix up. An invitation was extended to include them in future family gatherings.
Bottom line is that I had the opportunity to apply those principles in a sticky situation. I reached out to this new family who are so important to my daughter's life. I was quick to apologize to my daughter. And I heard my Son in Law to Be's voice of reason.
Women your opportunity to lead by example happens everyday. Maybe several times in one day. Be sure of what you believe is God's way of handling life. Not sure what His way is? Let's read His Word together and find out!
3Yes, they do no unrighteousness [no willful wandering from His precepts]; they walk in His ways.

Psalm 119:1-3
Amplified Bible (AMP)
Psalm 119
1BLESSED (HAPPY, fortunate, to be envied) are the undefiled (the upright, truly sincere, and blameless) in the way [of the revealed will of God], who walk (order their conduct and conversation) in the law of the Lord (the whole of God's revealed will). 2Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are they who keep His testimonies, and who seek, inquire for and of Him and crave Him with the whole heart.3Yes, they do no unrighteousness [no willful wandering from His precepts]; they walk in His ways.
