The kids would laugh and he would complain that they were to loud, their teachers gave lots of home work during the first week of school and he complained that the school system was horrible and the educational system was going down the toobs.
His wife cooked bacon and he said , "Why didn't you make sausage?" She made peppered stake and he went on to say, "Woman can't you do anything right? You know I love chicken parm!"
Whenever he went to work, he would talk about what went on in his house. He shared intimate things about his wife with people he had known for less than one year.
During the company holiday party, his wife was the laughing stock. Sadly, she didn't even know what they were giggling about.
He complained whenever he went to the supermarket, mall or corner store about the unreasonable prices. He once debated a store clerk over a 59 cent pack of gum. He even argued which gums flavor lasts longer than the other.
One night this man fell asleep. He woke up at two o'clock in the morning and noticed that his wife wasn't beside him. He ran to the kids room and noticed that they weren't there either. Puzzled, he went outside and noticed that the car and SUV were still in the driveway. He didn't understand, "What is going on?", he said within himself.
Time passed, and he realized that it was almost time to go to work. He was so perplexed, he didn't know what to wear. His wife was a master designer and always coordinated things for him. He mixmatched everything. He had on two different color socks, clothes weren't ironed (he didn't even know how to iron) he was a mess!
He went to work and his co-workers were shocked "Why is he so quiet?," they said amongt themselves. "Something has be wrong if Mr. Complainer is not talking" they continued.
He was now mute and at the point where he felt as if he was going to have a nervous break down.
He left work early because he couldn't imagine what happen to his family. He dare not tell his family because they were all aware of his tactics. The blame would all be placed on him, so he dare not say a word.
He went home and cried, cried, cried, cried, cried.....until he woke up......
IT WAS ALL A DREAM!
He became broken, he cried bitterly. He joined his wife in prayer. He embraced his wife, asked her and the children for forgiveness then he asked God for forgiveness. He then decided to do the one thing he had eluded all along, he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord & Savior!
We only have one life to live! We have to love each other with REAL LOVE!
We have to appreciate and value our family, love God and love people.
Jesus said, "This is how they will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another"
A.G. Wells
