Lucky 13 this morning!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Proverbs 15:1 – “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.”
So much can be said about how to apply this verse and I encourage you to meditate on it. My M set me straight a long time ago, but that doesn’t mean I don’t struggle with this. She told me to “let her cool off first” after we would get irritated at each other. Before she wanted to work through it, she wanted to make sure that our emotions were down and we could have a rational, beneficial discussion.
I think about how I sometimes get frustrated when my children don’t listen. For some strange reason, I think that if I bear down on them by raising my voice, it will end the frustration. What have I done? I have taught my children to respond to their emotions when they get frustrated. Quite the opposite impact I was hoping for.
What other aspects of our lives do we let our emotions take over? How could a “gentle answer” have a stronger impact? Think on this.
MOLESKIN:
Kudos to everyone for pushing hard this morning through a non-stop beatdown!
