We can teach important lessons to our children- directly and indirectly - by how we handle anger and move
from negative to positive emotional stability. We can teach coping skills by teaching children to express
anger in appropriate ways and move beyond the angry moment or experience.

“Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath!... It tends only to evil.”
#14: Have you ever gotten on Roman Rapids when you had lots of time left in the park -- and you wore jeans?????
Rubs you raw! That is what anger -- seething anger --- can do
It will hurt you and those around you. And, one bad does of it can ruin the day.
#15: I learned the hard way that I was fully capable of exploding in fury and anger. It was the expense of my children’s early years that I finally came to a place of self-examination and hit upon the concept of my anger resembling a volcanic eruption... Mount Momma.” Julie Ann Barnhill aurthor of “She’s Gonna Blow!”
#20: Am I stressed?
We are all thinking about jobs, money,etc. that can cause stress?
#21: Am I busy? Do I run from one attraction to the next in my life - only to hurry up and wait?

#26: Anger is a secondary emotion that is usually used to express guilt, inadequacy, fear, or trauma (GIFT)
#27: My friend told me a story yesterday about her anger issues...
She said that when the kids would be ADD at the table - she would loose it! Then she realized that as a child her parents would fight at the table... things would intensify around the table. And she hated it. Somehow in her adult life - whenever things got flustered at her own table -- she felt like a little girl again -- helpless and out of control. All she knew to do was what she knew to do “Blow UP” My friend, got good counsel and she said that last week she responded calmly to a situation that would have set her off at one time. (Post Traumatic Syndrom).
#28: Some women show anger because that is what they saw as a child or it is what they are experiencing now. Ladies - if you or your children are in any kind of physical danger. Please seek help today. The YWCA - has an excellent program and they can be called anonymously to answer questions.

If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins
#47: brag on children when they are doing it right...

#48: Take a Soul Spa
Jesus wants to be your Living Water... You will never regret lingering in his Word. Make the time and God will fill you up

Beth Moore
I Timothy 1:18-19 “ I give you this instruction in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by following them you may fight the good fight holding onto faith and a good conscience. Some have rejected these and so hae shipwrecked their faith”
#50: Don’t try to do it alone.

Gentleness is Harnessed Power. (Elisa Morgan)
