Fault

When you are offended at any man's fault, turn to yourself and study your own failings.

Then you will forget your anger.

Strong Marriages

Rain Barrel Presentation - Mr. Dickie

Spouses in strong marriages do not have a tendency to try to be someone they are not. There is no pretense. Each spouse knows the faults and failings of the other, and offers the other acceptance and forgiveness. Love and the marriage can grow when each spouse has made friends with the reality of who the other truly is.
(Cloud & Townsend, God Will Make A Way, p. 129)

Humble Person

The humble person is tolerant of others' failings, and does not have a critical attitude toward the foibles of others.  Humble people are hard on themselves and easy on others. (Twenty-Four Hours A Day, 18 October) 6 November 2012

Whose Fault Is It?
