Do I Treat My Family as Lovingly and Kindly as I Would a Stranger on the Street?

I just read a beautiful post by Cay Gibson over at Cajun Cottage Under the Oaks.  I think it is particularly appropriate during this Christmas season when I can feel squeezed and the “victims” of those stressed feelings are those that I love the most on God’s green earth – my husband and children.  Cay asks the question, “Do I treat my family as lovingly and kindly as I would a stranger on the street?”.  Good question, Cay!  I need to take these feelings of conviction and turn them into action!!!
