This weekend I am helping with my church’s school play. I’ve helped with them in the past, but this year I am more emotionally involved and therefore need an outlet. (Good thing I already have this blog 😉 )
I was thinking about the play tonight while trying to wind down and instead my brain took me all the way to last weekend when the ladies I stayed the weekend with mentioned that I snore.
I wear a nasal strip and mouth tape; no such snoring should be happening! However, it was enough that at least one person couldn’t sleep. Although I consider it a win that this wasn’t a person who has previously mentioned my snoring; none of those women said anything this year.
I know this person meant nothing by it. I know— and have known for as long as I have a memory— that I snore.
After all the measures I’ve taken (short of getting my tonsils out or getting a sleep test), I was really disappointed to hear that the snoring can still be disruptive. I would rather not be a disruptive person, especially during the night. I highly value good sleep, not just for myself but for those around me… both literally and figuratively.
However the Lord reminded me the rest of the weekend and during this entire week that everyone has weird quirks. Plus, I personally am sleeping better and getting more restful sleep. So the measures I’ve taken can’t be all for naught.
During this week, the Lord has pointed out a few quirks that other friends in my life have that didn’t previously irritate me because well… we all have quirks. So He highlighted them in a different way so that I can be reminded… everyone is different.
It’s helped me with my patience this week. So I hope this short post helps you in some way as well. 🙂
