51. It’s not a
miracle you need; you need a change of attitude
― Bangambiki
Habyarimana
Sometime people
think they need miracles to happen in their lives to attain such and such goals,
but we forget that at times we only need to change our attitudes to attain what
we want.
I know of a
woman who always attends church seeking a miracle. She prays that her partner may
turn into a loving husband, return home early and get interested in his
household. This woman has prayed for many years but her husband has changed.
She attends all the women meetings and has received advice at numerous
occasions but the miracle is not forthcoming. She is tired and is considering
giving up. As she watches other happy women holding hands and smiling with
their husbands, she concludes god has abandoned her. She reminisces about her
life to find out why she cannot achieve a happy family. She recognizes that she
is always very angry with her husband and nag him a lot which causes him to
abandon the home at the first occasion but she vindicates herself that she
behave that way because her husband is mean. “I have to be tough with him. He
can’t take me for granted,” she muses.
As the marriage
was about to break down she had the chance to encounter a friend who gave her
this advice “It’s not a miracle you need. You need to change your attitude.
Stop competing with your husband. Stop nagging, stop insulting. Serve him as a
good wife should. Of course he has good reason to flee a quarrelsome wife who
does absolutely nothing but to cause havoc in the house. Show him the fruits of
your prayers like patience, forgiveness, understanding and forbearing. Don’t
pay evil for evil, stop your revenge attacks, and I am sure your husband will
notice the change and you will be happy again.”
