Patience Is Wisdom
"He who is slow to wrath has great understanding."Proverbs 14:29
Reflection
People who take longer to get angry usually decide better. Anger is a terrible adviser and never gives good advice.
Prayer
Father, help me be slow to anger. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- Why do people who get angry slowly decide better?
- What do you do when you feel angry?
- How can you slow down your anger?
