My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.
James 1:19-20
I've been very tired the last week or so. When I'm tired I tend to have angry outbursts with the kids. (Being tired is not an excuse! Especially when I know that fatigue has this effect on me). I'm going to be repeating these verses often . . . especially in the midst of their naughtiness!

I can relate to that. Funny thing is...I read those verses this morning also, to remind myself. I chose the other passage that I read for my IWW. I'll pray for both of us that we are slow to anger today with our kids especially!!
ReplyDeleteadd me to the list! I need those verses daily too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking Shannon and for the reminder of those verses!
