Help
With Your Rule
Toward Spouse and Children...
"Any bitterness or bad temper or anger or shouting or abuse must be far removed from you - as must every kind of malice. Be generous to one another, sympathetic, forgiving each other as readily as God forgave you in Christ... take Him as your pattern, and follow Christ by loving as He loved you, giving Himself up for us...."
Ephesians 4:31-5:1a

This is a passage which can stop a Mom dead in her tracks - and perhaps we need to let it stop us. A deep pondering of this passage is in order in our family lives - is our home behavior, and our relationship with husband and children, all that God is asking us here?
If not, how and when exactly are we planning on taking care of that? Confession is a good start. Biting the tongue is another. Conversion the best of all...
I really struggle with this one. I think it is the way I was bought up and always shouted at. I really found such inspiration in this above passage. I must learn to bite my tongue more often. I do shout and I really don't like it!
