Bridget, thank you for sharing. I believe our situation is very similar to what you described. I never really thought of my husband as being capable of insecurity…he always seems to have it all together…but the truth is, we all get insecure at times about something. (He is currently working in a very difficult environment where there is little value placed on anything but work and getting ahead in this world.) And I have been trying so hard, as you said, to make sure he was satisfied with life and happy. What’s funny is, I’m telling the kids all the time that it isn’t my job to keep them happy.
Anabetica, I was blessed by your post as well. Thank you so much for taking the time to share. We, like Paul, must “learn the secret of being content in any and every situation”…”I can do everything through him who gives me strength.” (Phillipians 4:12-13)
