Anger

This day started with our youngest getting up at least one hour before the sun and deciding it was time to go potty. She had her diaper off and she got to the potty faster than I could comprehend. :) She did go though. I can't wait to get rid of these diapers. Afterwards she followed her daddy downstairs and decided to touch a hot iron. Ouch! Daddy got her to the sink so fast her hand never had a chance to get red. She's fine but I'm hoping and praying that she will never do that again.

I've been pretty much sitting still because I twisted my back yesterday. I got up from sitting at the computer really fast and then twisted. Boy, did that hurt. Now, the kids have me where they want me; sitting still. I've enjoyed it though. My son started the snow lapbook from www.handsofachild.com. We've been really enjoying it but we do need to get snow for two of the activities. It's been predicted and than changed....that drives me crazy! Anyway, it is nice. the next one we will be doing is the deer lapbook. I have been starting to think of lapbook ideas for the Terrestria series. My son has been doing folds for vocabulary/spelling words from the books. I do need to get a pdf maker...it would be much easier.

ANGER: This morning I was looking at blogs and came across one where a comment was posted about it being ok to be angry at God. I thought about that answer and know that it is not ok to be angry at God. I do believe it is ok to ask why things are or did happen the way they did. (For anything in life...death, etc....) But, I believe God does not ever have to give us answers to that question: why. We have to trust him. I think that is the time we should really rely on God's word (actually, we should always rely on His word). So while I had to sit still, I did alot of searching for Bible verses (KJV Bible) and found MANY about anger which can also led to hatred, jealousy,covetousness, envy, etc...
Proverbs 14:17; 14:29; 15:1; 16:32; 19:19; 22:24; 25:28; 29:22; 30:33
Colossians 3:8-10
Titus 1:7
Ephesians 4:26
James 1:19-20; 4:14-16
I am Glad that I did look up these verses...it really made me think about anger, jealousy etc... It can make you miserable and everyone around you miserable. I think this can go along with part of the verse I wrote the other day, Psalm 19:14. To be careful of the 'meditation of my heart'.
