Writer By Merry Paul
Th1is was the conversation between a father and a son who was getting set to get married.
*Son*: Dad, I want to get married
*Dad*: First, Tell me you are sorry
*Son*: For what?
*Dad*: Say sorry
*Son*: But for what? What did I do?
*Dad*: Just say sorry
*Son*: But, What have I done wrong?
*Dad*: I said, say sorry
*Son*: Why?
*Dad*: Say Sorry!!
*Son*: Please. Just tell me why?
*Dad*: Say sorry.
*Son*: OK Dad, I am sorry
*Dad*: Uhun.. You've just qualified for Marriage.
*When You Learn to Say Sorry for No Reason At All*
then you're ready to get married.
I can never forget this, It was in Rev Omar Pela's Church, he told a story of how on a particular morning, his wife stormed into their bedroom with a moody look on her face.
Being a gentleman, he asked "Sweetheart what's wrong?" She said, "Nothing!" Sternly.
(You know when a lady tells you..nothing. irk!).
So He impressed further, "You don't sound fine dear.." She insisted "I said I'm fine!"
He said at that moment he tried to replay in his head, if there was any misunderstanding they had previously but couldn't remember any.
So, not to cause any
tension at all he decided to continue his study in church office. As he picked the car keys to leave, the wife blurted.. "So you are going to leave without showing any concern or care?"
He said at that point he was angry & shouted back...
" Did I not ask you,
what else do you want me to do?" So he slammed the door and left.
On getting to the car downstairs, about to start the car.. The Holy spirit asked him, "if someone
passes by now and mistakenly hit his leg on a stone, what would you say?"
He replied, I will tell the person sorry.
The Holy spirit asked again, did you cause the person to hit his/her leg on the stone?
He replied "No!"
Then why would you say sorry for what yoy didn't cause? The Holy Spirit added.
He said instantly he got the message the *Holy Spirit* was trying to pass across to him.
*That you don't have to be the cause of a thing to say Sorry for it.*
So he got back upstairs, his wife looking at him angrily still.
Then he said *"Sweetheart I'm sorry"*.
She just wrapped her arm around him with sobs, that's all she wanted with the Moody look.
What a wonder! He said he was left speechless and wondering.....Hmmm.
*Dear friends, Stop justifying yourself. Can you just tell Him/Her you are sorry even if it was your partner's Fault?*
I am Sorry can make that
Relationship work.
Have a blessed day.
