The Bible says that the wives of Esau were a source of grief for Isaac and Rebekah (Genesis 26:35). Think about that. Moses introduces them as Esau takes them to wife and the very next verse says they were a source of grief for their in-laws. That's it... moving right along with the story.
Is that how you would like to be remembered in the history books? As a source of grief.
Makes you stop and think doesn't it! Are you a source of grief or a blessing to those around you? Am I a source of grief or a blessing to my family? Do I uplift them or bring them down?
I'm not talking about the days here and there that are unhappy, I'm talking about a pattern, a habit. Think about your interactions with your in-laws, and others. Pray that God open your eyes to the truth of your actions and correct them where needed.
