A MEMORABLE VISIT
One day an acquaintance of Joyselyn came by to visit. I excused myself from the room to my man cave so they could
speak freely. I turned on some light music and checked my email. The lady’s voice did carry, and she was upset and
complaining about her husband. She tried to fit all men in the same mold by commenting to my Joyselyn; “You probably
know! you have been married for some years; they are not always loyal or what they seem to be”.
My Joyselyn had the absolute best reply ever. She switched the subject by asking the lady about her dog. Asked the lady
about her pet dog Petite, asked if he was loyal to her, to which she, the lady answered, “Yes, of course, he is.” Joyselyn
then asked if she knew I, her husband, had trained dogs almost his entire life. Then proceeded to inform her that I was
an excellent trainer, and the dogs, in exchange, had taught me some valuable lessons. Most importantly, loyalty and
faithfulness.
Joyselyn continued to explain how she had witnessed this behavior every day and referred to it as my nature. Joyselyn
continued; When questioned if my husband is loyal or faithful, my answer is undoubted Yes! Just like any devoted pet.
Just like your Petite. And the best part, he (my husband) is housebroken.
The best advice I can give for solving any behavioral problems you might have is to Love, trust, and pray to your Heavenly
Father for His wisdom and gain His understanding. He never fails to supply what’s needed to keep together what He has
joined. Like dogs, it’s in their nature to please; we must learn to love and know what treats work. Let The Lord be your
Spiritual Trainer & Behavioralist. He will save both you and your marriage.
“She opens her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness.”
