ARGGGH!! That's the fourth time you've done that!

How many times has a loved one done something to offend you? How often does your sister-in-law repeat that annoying habit around you, or your brother forget about common courtesy?

Love keeps no record of wrongs. Period. (1 Corinthians 13:5, NIV) To me, that means that I have to consciously stop counting how many times someone does something wrong towards me. When I keep count, my heart builds up a case why it is okay to be frustrated, angered or annoyed at that person. Forgetfulness is one of the great traits of love. Practice it.
