Timing

A lesson in one of my church classes on Sunday really hit home for me this week. It was about anger and how it affects family relationships. With three toddlers I am sure you can imagine the amount time I spend frustrated or angry. I see now that I am really wasting precious moments I could be sharing with my children, I just need to learn how to take things in stride...not everything is a catastrophe!! Spilled water is nothing to get my panties in a bunch about even if it is the third time in one day! Kids still need to learn right from wrong and how to be polite, good listeners, however nothing my sweet girls ever do should make me sooo angry!! And in the case it does, maybe I need a timeout along with them. Anger is not always choice but I do have the power to control how I express myself when I am angry. I know it is not going to be overnight but I know that if my behavior is more positive, those good feelings will spread quickly to all the members in my family. I must be the example, a good example. Last week seemed like torture...but I was the one who could have changed that. So lastly I just want to say that I love how each lesson in church seems to directly pertain to what is happening in my life at that very moment. Coincidence??
