Proverbs 15:1
A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

I just wanted to share this with you guys out there that read my blog. I was reminded of this verse today when I went to a church with some of my clients to get help for the children. The woman was first of all wrong. When she was corrected by someone over her, it made her rude to us. This was first hard to put up with because we were in a church, I was with my clients and because I was so disappointed in her. She was there to set an example and show love to them and they heard her talking negatively and saw the attitude on her face. But, she definitely stirred up ANGER in me and it was necessary at all. I hate that I let her upset me, but she was "out of order".

Luke 6:31
And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.  

In all of my anger and annoyance, I also remembered the above verse and remembered that I was there setting an example for someone and had to practice what I "preach".  We were respectful to her even though she was very rude to us.  The passage below I read with the SHE READ TRUTH website.  I do an online bible study with them.  You should really give it a try if that is your thing......even if it isn't your thing, please give it a try.  Anyway the passage below keeps me grounded.  I do certain things because that what God calls me to do, not what the law expects me to do, but what I know God wants me to do.  But......I was tested today.  I got upset....but I got my mind right.  Because...in the words of my mother, "That woman is not gonna worry me"!  LOL!  Have a wonderful day ladies!!!!
