A little while ago, my sister-in-law came out and asked, "Eric, what did you do with all my metal bowls?" I wash the dishes most of the time around here, and whenever I wash something, I simply put it in the dish drainer. She told me, with quite a bit of frustration in her voice, "I don't have any metal bowls." Before we moved in, she had given us one metal bowl. I went and got that bowl from our box and handed it to her, but she said, "I don't want that one. I want the metal bowls I had." I honestly told her, "I haven't seen them." She then said that I had rearranged her cabinets. I explained that I had put all the bowls together because they were scattered throughout the cabinet, and I was trying to make more room and keep things organized. Again, I told her, "I'm sorry, but I haven't seen the bowls." She simply replied, "Okay," and walked away. Situations like this can be frustrating. Sometimes people assume we're responsible for something when we aren't. In those moments, all we can do is tell the truth, stay calm, and refuse to let accusations pull us into an argument. I've learned that not every misunderstanding needs a fight. Sometimes the best thing you can do is speak the truth, keep your peace, and trust God to work things out. "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." Matthew 5:9
