In general, I’m a pretty calm person. At least until I go home and have to “deal” with my teenager. Yes, I’m the adult and should be able to control my attitude and emotions, but sometimes I fail when I lose my temper and only add fuel to the fire. Proverbs 15:1 says “A soft answer turns away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger.” Now, when I stop and remember to reply with a “soft answer”, I get a totally different reaction and a nicer reply from my teenager. Love truly is peaceful.
