Good impressions. Something about a judge and a book.

Greet one another with a kiss of love. —1 Peter 5:14

I never really thought about this until reading this day’s entry. The way you greet someone, whether your married to them or not, whether you known them for 1 year or 10, really does have an affect on how you interact. It can change the entire dynamic of how you’re feeling toward one another.

Example, today’s dare was to think of a specific way to greet your spouse and to do it with a smile. Well, I had a TERRIBLE day. I completely forgot about greeting Amanda with a smile and opened the door to Amanda standing right next to me with her arms open and lips turned up. Instead of hugging her and thanking Jesus that the day was over, I said something to the effect of, “Not now. Today was a horrible day. And why ?”

Bad News Bears. I don’t think we talked for like an hour.

It’s difficult sometimes to put on a happy face. But please try. But you don’t have to take my word for it.
