09 Jul How to combat an angry heart.
I lean against the wall and let out a day’s worth of sighs.
“What’s happen, Mom?” he asks, startled.
I give him a weak smile. “I’m just being angry. But I don’t want to be angry.”
He looks all around the room, searching for the answer. “Umm…otay…yet’s do a verse. ‘Children obey…’ oh no…umm… Yet’s do ‘Be kick ta hair.'”
I hesitate.
“You do it,” he prompts.
“Be quick to hear, slow to speak,” I start.
“And syow to det angwry,” he joins me on the last phrase. “Dat’s white! Good job, Mom. You not angwry anymore.”
God’s Word is power, sharper than any two-edged sword. And God used my son to pierce my bad attitude with it. Thank you, Lord.
