Selfish me!

This past weekend, my husband and I had the weekend to ourselves, or so I thought.

On Saturday morning after we woke up, my husband went outside to work on a car for a friend. That was fine with me, I was happy that I would get to go out there with him and help (as best I could), but then my father in law showed up. That was also fine, until he was helping him and I was pushed to the side. I got upset and went inside to calm down because I really wanted to be the one helping and I really wanted the weekend to be just us. My father in law also doesn't like my outside kitty cat and chases her away when she is near, that really upsets me, but this day it got to me a lot. After calming down some, I walked outside and I told my husband I was really hoping it would be a weekend for just us and I also told my father in law that I would appreciate him not being so mean to my cat. My father in law told me my cat is just a cat, I shouldn't worry about her, then they both laughed at me, like I was being crazy (maybe I was, idk). That upset me even worse, so I went back inside and cried, yes, I cried! I cried so much, I was so sad that my husband didn't stick up for me and tell his dad he needed to be nicer to my cat.. I cried to the point I started praying! I asked God to please help me with the sadness/anger I was feeling, I don't like feeling that way at all. After some time, my husband came inside and I told him how I felt. He apologized and hugged and kissed me. He really felt bad. I felt bad that I made him feel so bad. It was really all nonsense!

My whole reason for getting upset was because I wanted time with my husband. I could've had more time with him if I would've been outside with him instead of being so upset that I couldn't have him to myself! The entire weekend was spent with his dad and other people, but it turned out to be a pretty good weekend, still!

I don't like it when my selfish behavior gets in the way of my happiness! Its a habit that I really need God's help with. I'm super glad that I had God with me during that time, if I hadn't, I probably would have spent the entire weekend being upset.. whew!!

Thank you for never leaving my side, Lord!
