"We have careful thoughts for the stranger
And smiles for the visiting guest;
But oft for 'our own'
The bitter tone,
Though we love 'our own' the best."
Why is it that we have the harshest words for our immediate family? We find ourselves being the cruelest toward those that we say we love!
Wouldn't it be better if we put forth our best display of patience, love, understanding and gentleness to those that are our relatives?
Have a good day!
Love,
Dad
I always find that to be true of myself, being the most unkind to those I love the most, and wonder why!! I do not like it to be so and remind my children to keep that in check.
