Being a good example to others

Good morning Mama's and Papa's little bloggers.

Wisdom rests in the heart of him who has understanding, But what is in the heart of fools is made known.

A soft answer turns away wrath but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Before I begin my lesson on Being a good example to others, some of you may be thinking, "why do you insert pics publish it without typing up your blog at the same time. This is because I want to get you to look at the blog pic and for you to put your thinking caps on.

This morning I woke up about about 7:15am, had my brekkie, got in the shower, got dress then look on my little dressing cupboard and was about to spray perfume on me then low and behold it was missing, so my immediate reaction was 'grumpy face, vex, fuming, stomping my feet!' who came in my bedroom and took my perfume!. I went into the living room picked up the phone and I was just about to ring my sister and say did you daughter come in my bedroom and pinch my perfume". When the Holy Spirit said STOP!.

I put the phone down and then stopped to think, I purchased a box of my favourite perfume last month so I thought maybe I finished the perfume and threw away the bottle then thought, what am I getting all upset over one bottle of perfume when I got a few I haven't even touched yet. Can you imagine if I did pick up the phone and start ranting and raving to my sister and making a fool of myself.

Sometimes as adults we behave like kids because we fight and get upset over stupid things instead of keeping the peace. Parents are good and telling their children to learn to share things with other children and to be kind and generous, but are we really generous?. Does this rub off on our own children and other family members who also may have children.

Often sitting down and pondering before we act or about to speak is very helpful. Often we ponder over what people say to us. But sometimes even our own silent actions when no one is speaking to us sometimes misleads us.

So before you wake up this morning I want you to ponder over the stuff you need to do this morning, don't be too quick to pick up the phone to discuss a problem but think through it before you speak, you could probably solve the problem yourself without the phone call.
