Learning from God - 5 - A Lesson in Silence

For Thanksgiving each of my family members was taught a lesson in silence! As you might already get the picture from what I just said we did not have a holiday spirit filled day. Each of us was forced to keep our mouths shut when our family members took a turn at being rude. Truly my grandmother, her 'new husband,' aunt, and uncle were all a bit on the getting drunk side. :P Instead of coming home with 'thankful' hearts we were all in the dumps. Although each of us felt like we did the right thing by not getting into a fight or saying anything on the way they behaved. We did not let them have the satisfaction of putting us right where they wanted us. God gave us the grace to be Christ like and show politeness despite everything. I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving and whatever you were put through I hope God gave you the grace to do what was right.
