Laureltree Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Hey.. have any of you tried the Love Dare ?I thought it would be fun to post one each day. You can share your thoughts too if you wish. I believe that you don't have to have problems to use good concepts, and since this was a great read...I'm sharing it..:) DAY 1Love is patientBe completely humble and gentle; be patience, bearing with one another in love. Ephesians 4:2The first part of this dare is fairly simple. Although love is communicated in a number of ways, our words often reflect the condition of our hearts. For the next day, resolve to demonstrate patience and to say nothing negative to ( a spouse, friend, relative) at all. If temptation arises , choose not to say anything. It's better holding your tongue than to say something you'll regret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JThimm88 Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 (edited) I have tried it with my husband. We haven't gotten all the way through it yet, but we've enjoyed it thus far! :) Edited May 26, 2010 by JThimm88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's better holding your tongue than to say something you'll regret.Always, anything that helps a person to become a better, I am willing to participate in this. I have already, had to 'hold my tongue' [actually, the fingers from clicking on the keyboard in responding negatively to another person poor reading comprehension] on a posting this afternoon. I will try this tonight, when I am surrounded by four women in our house. Thanks… Edited May 26, 2010 by Hemidakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Is this from a book? If so it may be copyrighted and wouldn't want to have this posted for free on this site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingnut Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Pam, it is from a book. The same book that the Kirk Cameron movie Fireproof was based on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laureltree Posted May 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 How about since its from a book we power point topics..... Today lets try not to be selfish with those around us...:) I normally do good, but yesterday I had to actually REALLY bite my tongue...literally lol, then reply with Ohhh....lol Thank heavens I was able to leave the room after that, it did me good though because I was able to think about it a bit.... Sometimes not responding truly is better :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
