I admit I committed the sin of Self-righteousness, like all sins lies deep within my fallen nature

Sparked off by my wife’s nightly habit of leaving some object in our daughter’s bed (as a gift

But our daughter spotted her gloves were chosen and told mom not to use them

My wife has a determined mindset and refused to give in to our daughter’s request

This was where I intervened and my Self-righteous arose along with growing anger

In my anger I accused my wife of being a thief, in return my wife screamed at me in denial, saying she thought it belonged to my daughter

Thankfully my wife said “Sorry” and defused the situation so calmness and sanity were restored

Thinking about what had happened sometime later, I knew I had dealt badly and unlovingly

Determined to learn from the whole situation I pray I will never allow my dormant Self-righteousness to arise again
