My wife is much more friendly than I am. She wanted to gather her family here at home. At first, I was very upset about that because, I am obliged to interact with others that I am not so fond of; then I realized how much my wife was working on that: cleaning the house, preparing food, etc. and I was just complaining about that. I realized that she was showing love to her parents, serving them and by other hand, I just wanted to feel fine in my bubble.
When her parents came yesterday, I enjoyed it and was very talkative. After eating "ceviche" (a typical food from Chile or Peru), I felt something was in my teeth so I decided to talk opening less my mouth. My wife saw it (after some time talking to other), and I felt ashamed about that.
At night, I was wondering about how bad it was - how much the onion of ceviche in my teeth caused people to look down on me. What was really the problem? Certainly I wanted to cause a good impression, so I was bothered when I did the opposite.
Today is Sunday. It is the Lord's day, day to look to the Lord and praise Him, to bother about much I please the Lord and not how much I please other people. I really know that the ceviche in my teeth is something very small in my life, but it is a symptom of how frequently I forget that I was created to praise the Lord and not to be praised by other people.
