Fruits of the Spirit!

As I cruise though life, I sometimes wonder if I truly live upto the christian values that I expect out of my children. I try to think back on each day and see where I could improve and what I should have handeled differently. There was a situation (if you could really even call it that) wednesday morning that for a moment disturbed me. To stay along the story lines, I was trying to explain something and I believe that I hurt someone's feelings. Before I knew it, that person had jumped in and told me of one of my many flaws....and it hurt my feelings. You know, NO ONE likes have the obvious being pointed out. I really don't even remembered how I acted because my feelings were hurt, but I later asked my best friend how I came across. I expected honesty, that's why I ask her. She told me that I was making sound as if the person I was talking to was pathetic and so forth. I realized that this is why she jumped back because she thought I was belittling her. I must apologize, and if you are reading this post, please accept my apology. It was never my intention to hurt your feelings or make you feel any less than a person that I consider to be a friend. I was attempting to make the point that when Brandy, Angela and I were hired it was as if no one wanted us there we were like intruders. I suppose it was because we were one of the first group of new hires that InterCall had seen in some yearas! Now, that people have see past the "new" in us, we are welcomed with opened arms and people can see the friendship that the three of us share.
It was never my intention to hurt your feelings, and please overlook me. I know that tact is a flaw of mine that I need to work on and it is improving as time passes. Please don't be quick to think that I am insulting you, I am "brutally honest" as Brandy says and sometimes you have to remind me. So please help me with that, let me know that I have hurt your feelings.

To the point, as I was thinking over this situation last night, I thought back to the 9 fruits of the spirit. My goal is to acccomplish the 9 fruits of the spirit everyday. This morning, this person did something very nice! Thank you, you were an inspiration to me! Thank you for teaching me to be a better person!!!
