Self-Control
…I’m reminded that the strongest dads in the world are the ones who can keep their own anger from kicking out the stalls and stomping around like a wild stallion.
And every time my kids see me step up to the plate, acting like an adult, playing referee to my own anger before I have to get called “out” by an embarrassing display of temper, they see a world-class exhibition of the Holy Spiritthe invisible force of the heavenly Father Himselfat work in my life. That’s when they learn a little self-control themselves, by example.
