I needed to hear this one, friend. I'm a strong-headed, not afraid to speak her mind, kind of woman. My husband is so gentle, which makes him an easy target for me.

Someho...Sonja, I'm giving you a thumbs up too!<br /><br />Somehow I just can't picture you being harsh though. Everything about you is kind and loving as far as I'm concerned sister. However, I realize we're not together 24/7 like we are with our husbands.<br /><br />But I've found that as I'm also a strong and independent woman married to a strong and independent man ...there are those times for us too!<br /><br />It is true that when I respond in a kinder and less harsh way Greg responds so much better and will often listen to me. :)<br /><br />I love your bits and pieces. Did you know that you are mentoring us women with your posts? I love it.<br /><br />Love you,<br />DebbieDebbie Petrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235978883396499354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-17949156218488685032010-05-24T10:00:46.697-07:002010-05-24T10:00:46.697-07:00LOVE this and so true...from another independent, ...LOVE this and so true...from another independent, strong-willed woman, who wants to be tempered by the Holy Spirit.<br /><br />My husband has been blessed by reading my post first also.

I have missed my visits with you...Precious friend,<br /><br />I have missed my visits with you during my time off line. I am so glad I have returned to the sharing of your heart and the wisdom of GOD's word!!<br /><br />HIS Word is sometimes what I call, "tight" in other words, "ouch" but it's always a GREAT and valuable lesson and one we all need. Amen?! Amen!<br /><br />You said it best with this statement: "This much I DO know... a gentle response ALWAYS changes the course of the conversation."<br /><br />May we all remind ourselves through the counsel of the Holy Spirit to speak words that heal and edify and when we're in flesh may we be silent in all situations so that we will be GOD-HONORING. Amen!!! I love you much. You are a dear friend Sonja. I have found myself speaking of you.LisaShawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01847564334928464883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-12757540164130320602010-05-24T08:53:23.948-07:002010-05-24T08:53:23.948-07:00Thumbs up from me too.

I'm struggling like you do, and as late as yesterday I lost where I easily could have conquered.I have "downsized" from using language to slamming doors, its wrong anyway. My hubby only too well knows what lies behind, and I know that he knows, that's why I'm doing it. My dad used to ad another quote from the proverbs,"He who can master his tongue, is mightier than he who besieges a whole city." (Simultaneous translation)<br />I'm 60, time I got a little wisdom into my head, and some victories for my soul..<br /><br />I keep reading the Billy Graham book about angels. It's so inspiring. I always knew Mr. Graham was a great revival preacher. However, it slipped me that he was filled with that much wisdom.<br />I think I wouldn't have bought the book, if you hadn't brought his name up in one of your recent posts.<br />I remain thankful.Felisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-50225900499659322362010-05-24T07:45:27.823-07:002010-05-24T07:45:27.823-07:00I have an urgent prayer request at arise 2 write.
