Chicken Pot Pie Skillet Pizza

Ever have one of those moments when what you hear someone say to you is entirely different from the what they intended to say?

When I served Chicken Pot Pie Skillet Pizza to my husband his response was "I like this better than regular Chicken Pot Pie."  
What I heard him say was "I never liked your chicken pot pie."  
​

I recognize the ridiculousness of that but it proves my point that all to often I assign thoughts to others that they never actually had.  I assume that people are holding judgement against me that they never intended.  
​

While I'm still having to remind myself to really listen to the words that people say, I know that my identity is not wrapped up in what other people think of me - or my cooking.  My identity comes from the love of the one who created me and that is the only thing that really matters.
