It has been quite a while since you have heard from Potschochter.
Well he has been very busy the last few weeks.
Today has been a very hard day for Potschochter.
First he tried to fix a download error by following instructions on you tube.
Well it did not work. So he was quite frustrated and his self-confidence got a huge blow.
So he headed home.
Then he found a new group on his WhatsApp where Potschochter was added to.
The group was founded by Potschochter's hubby.
The group was called "gratefulness". Potschochter could not help bursting into tears.
Because there was a tiny chance of hope, that Potschochter's hubby could have experienced a shift in his mindset.
As far as Potschochter can remember, his hubby never has shown gratefulness. HE always found something to complain about.
Everywhere!
As his hubby came home, he was bad tempered. He did not like the way Potschochter has filled the fireplace.
Potschochter had put big logs standing tall inside the fire place.
The fire did not burn yet. It simply has been a preparation.
Well Potschochter's hubby got mad at him for the wrong preparation.
Potschochter is used to his hubby's raised voice.
HE always tell himself, that his hubby has to talk so loudly so that he can hear himself better.
Yes, Potschochter's hubby is 53 now. and his ears... well, you can fancy..
Okay Potschochter was asked to get the big big upstanding piece of wood he has somewhere in the yard. This big wooden part is used to be the place where smaller pieces can be separated by an axt.
Potschochter had a bad day himself, and his hubby's nagging contributed to Potschochter's down mood.
So he decided to not only get this device for making kindling wood, but to make some kindling wood by himself.
He could freely vent by striking the axt onto logs to thin them.
It went okay for a few pieces. But then this big big wooden piece broke apart, due to its age and the heavy strokes it endured.
Well now Potschochter's hubby is on his daily 10 kilometer walks.
On days like this, the only thing that really helps Potschochter is hope.
Hope that the next day Potschochter will be given a new deck of cards.
Breathe, just breathe, dear old Potschochter, and remind yourself of small victories and blessing you were given already in the past.
Potschochter's hubby just came home and he apologized for his bad temper.
He is human, as well. Thank heavens Potschochter is assured of being loved by Christ. So he can freely be gracious onto his hubby.
Breathing is a powerful means to recompose onself after being emotionally scattered.
21 Then Peter came to Him and asked, “Lord, how
many times will my brother sin against me and I forgive him and let it go? Up to seven times?” 22 Jesus answered him, “I
say to you, not up to seven times, but seventy times seven.
Mt 18,21-22)
Today there was a lesson to learn for Potschochter.
But tomorrow will hopefully be better.
