You may laugh when I say this. But it’s humility. Ikr How humble is that of me to say? LOL

Seriously, though, Kevin’s nature is so quick to seek to understand and to own up to his mess-ups. He is super quick to say, “I’m sorry. Please forgive me.” He’s willing to discuss things intelligently and reasonably and tries his hand at empathy best he can even though he isn’t the most empathic person by nature. But he is a very caring and loving person which helps him to lean into empathy more than is natural for him. And here’s what he says about me on this subject….

He says that I am quick to be teachable, am very self aware, and am patient when we have misunderstandings. I go straight to compassion which helps calm my “passion” down that you may call anger. JK I’m aware, I can just get plain mad about stuff faster than I should but immediately I step back and realize typically “but for the grace of God, there go I”. Once I switch over to compassion toward whoever has set me off, my empathy helps me navigate toward humility.

This morning, when I was seeking God as to what to share on the #happymondayblog the word HUMILTY was spoken so loudly in my heart. I was thinking back on our Valentine’s talk at church yesterday and was thinking of several marriages and relationships that are in trouble as I type this morning and thought – man, if they could only learn this one thing, it would help them navigate to the other side of their junk just like Kevin and I have and continue to do daily!

I then hopped on Instagram and found a clip of Joel Osteen weeping thinking of his Dad’s wonderful nature. I began to weep with him overwhelmed at the thought of seeing my boys one day sharing in much the same way about their father’s amazing nature (my husband). That’s when it was confirmed this is definitely what today’s blog is about. Go check out my story today and you will be moved I know like I was!!!

Happy Monday, y’all!
