If the Sun Has Already Gone Down….
The other night, at around 12:00 am, Sam and I were busy arguing. It’s a great thing to do when you’re tired…NOT. But, when there is a disagreement that we haven’t had a chance to solve the urge to take care of it in the littleĀ bit of time we have together can often get the better of us.
We cajole each other to stay awake so that “the sun does not go down on our wrath,” and it is not fun. But, on this particular night Sam did something different. Our discussion came to a pause, and Sam just said “Honey, I love you!” and rolled over and went to sleep. I needed no convincing to do the same.
The next morning, after a good rest, the problem had shrunk to its true size. We had a few minutes to snuggle before the day caught on, and we started the day in sync having apologized and made up.
So, I don’t want to contradict scripture, but I think that sometimes, especially when the sun has already set and you are just weary, it’s wise to save the big discussions for later, and just trust that you love each other enough. A good night’s sleep can defuse a lot of frustration and anger.
And that is my little thought for you precious 15 readers.
Pictures and tales of Vegas soon to follow.

Awww, so sweet. I don’t know you either, but I know a lot of your sisters, except, you guys are one of those families where everyone is so different, so I can’t say that if you know one you know them all. Ha.
