Weekend Challenge Update - the Ficus Tree

¹⁴Do everything without complaining or arguing,
¹⁵so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe.

Do everything without complaining or arguing. That was the challenge.

And boy was it a challenge today!



Yes, that is a tree. A very large tree. In my living room.


Yes, I did manage to help carry it in and make room for it without complaining or arguing. Yes, I definitely bit my tongue at least once.

My wonderful husband is the decorator in our house, and has always done a great job of it. But I have to admit that I really did NOT like the giant ficus. Not at all.


However keeping that to myself (as much as I could - it's hard to control the facial expressions!) really made for a much more peaceful afternoon. Obeying God is always a blessing.






Now that he has trimmed it, I think I might get used to it. I'll either learn to like it.....





Or have a very interesting "Not Me" for next week!
