"I start the 'Butt-out program' tomorrow" was the way the conversation started. My inside voice immediately thinks that there is something else that needs to be stopped before the cigarettes!!!
"Oh, how are you going to do that?"
"Champix" (sp?) is the response.
"Have you tried that before?" I ask.
"Yes, but I didn't take it in the morning and I start tomorrow morning." triggers more racing thoughts in my brain, but our kid is now setting the table for supper.
After supper, huge travel coffee mug of wine poured. "Don't you think you should quit drinking?" I muster.
"No, I like it too much." is the solemn, firm response.
I looked at him and said "Ì don`t." in an equally firm tone.
He stared at the TV and ignored me. I waited. No response.
"I would rather you quite drinking." No response.
I am so angry. Even now, four hours later, I am sure that must be a change in blood pressure or adrenaline just thinking about it.
Relentless Love is something that needs God at the centre of it. Praying for him to take over. Blackaby`s devotion today is challenging.
Then the LORD said to me, "Go again, love a woman who is loved by a lover and is committing adultery, just like the love of the LORD for the children of Israel, who look to other gods and love the raisin cakes of the pagans." (Hosea 3:1)
God bless,
