You can set all the boundaries you want, it's how you enforce those boundaries once someone crosses or attempts to cross them. Enforce boundaries, don't just set them.
My favorite time of year is approaching. I am always so cheerful when Christmas comes along. Such a joyous and whimsical time of year. Literally lifts my sprits every year.
The other day in Sunday school I said I pray for longsuffering. Ppl were looking at me like I was crazy. But the key component of it is โpatiently enduringโ. Iโm not praying for affliction. Iโm praying for patient endurance during the affliction that is destined to occur.
