'A gentle answer turns away anger' Proverbs 15:1
I thought a lot about this verse last night after a very stressful day. Managing oneself, one's marriage, family and career is no small feat. And the way we choose to respond to every circumstance makes a difference. As I pondered this verse I began to think that maybe this verse wasn't written just to teach us how to respond to others but also to help in my own restoration process. When I choose to respond in kindness, my temperment is more calm, my thoughts are more clear, and I'm in a better place.
I want to make a difference, better yet - I want to be the difference. I want my husband to know that I honor and respect him, for my children to know that they are loved unconditionally. To discipline them in love so that they can grow in grace. Another small step.
kiss your husband, play with your kids, take every moment and make it count. Let go of pride and practice patience...even the little things
