Bed Time

When someone or something makes you mad, it is so easy to say or do the first thing that comes to mind. It takes a lot more strength to bite your tongue and choose not to fight. Sometimes it even helps to actually walk away so that you don’t say or do something you’ll regret later. Pray that God will show you, this week, when to care about others by walking away from a fight.
