Sat. thoughts
Do you know anyone with a volcanic temper, who just explodes and terrifies those around them? I used to have a pretty bad temper not physically violent but I could cut a person down verbally in no time. It wasn't till I had my daughter that I realized how damaging it was. I'd see her shirk back when she knew I was mad or see the hurt on her face when I'd go into a rage. That's about the time I came to know the Lord and that was one of the very first things I really went to work on, trying to be more mindful of others. Surrendering the feelings of rage to the Lord instead of acting on them. Now I can still get upset but never as bad as it was in the past. I'm so thankful for the peace and calm that God has brought to my life. No matter what happens I always have that peace if I remember to accept it. God bless! Karen
I had a volatile temper, even after knowing the Lord. And it was violent, which I deeply regret. It ended my marriage, and it is a miracle my kids want me in their lives.
It took losing my marriage to bring my whole attitude around. About three years before my husband left, I worked on it, but did not salvage my marriage. God opened my eyes when my husband walked out the door, and I was completely changed.
I still have moments of anger, but work very hard at keeping them in check. It is the Holy Spirit that helps me work on it. When I get troubled inside, I bite my tongue and examine it and the Lord helps me tremendously.
I wish I had worked on my temper prior to my marriage, but I was a child then. I got married at 18, and had many unresolved mental health issues to contend with that I had no clue about. If only..,.,
But, God is good. He heals me and fills the void left by my divorce and empty nest.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.
