WOW #007 – Controlling our temper
This week’s Words of Wisdom:
“Controlling your temper is better than being a hero who captures a city.”
Proverbs 16:32
A little something to think about carefully and exercise daily. Especially if you’re a parent, I think. Instead of handling and disciplining the kids with self-control, a cool-head, authority and of course, love, it’s often easier for us parents to lose our temper when faced with tough daily challenges.
Last month, I quoted some lines from a book, here’re a few more good ones:
If a child lives with …
… criticism, she learns to condemn.
… hostility, she learns to fight.
… fear, she learns to be apprehensive.
… ridicule, she learns to be shy.
