Sometimes I don't know how I put up with them.

They can be fickle, indecisive, with a perpectual disregard for time.

They say words they would later on regret. Words that cut, and drip with sarcasm. Able to tear down a person's morale just like that, whether knowing or unknowingly.
The best quote for them would have to be, "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."

They are lazy, often irresponsible, and disturb you at the most unopportune timings.
They tease, and provoke, and have high tendencies to make your blood boil.

.....................

But when it's down to crunchtime, and a time rolls by filled with despair or exasperation, hurt or crisis or devastation from the world around you - moments that you fall down and all you want to do is stay down.

They're there.
They stick around.

They don't use flowery comfort words, and the last thing they want to happen is to let you see through their veneers at how much they really care. But their presence, and their support; Most of all, their prayers... are often more than enough.

To me, at least.

I know they show love in their own different languages; and I think I thank God for them so much more than I realised actually..

And then I know how I put up with them.
