This morning, when I read my bible, I tried to apply all those really awesome proverbs* to my heart instead of to my kids' hearts
because I desperately needed it.
(it's been that sort of a week)
Also, I thanked God for my Malachai
who finished reading Charlie y la Fabrica de Chocolates to Josu and Selma,
gave me more smooches than normal,
and whipped up a batch of salad dressing when I called him from the flower market in a panicked frenzy because I had forgotten to make it for our lunch date.
*Proverbs 10:19 When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who restrains his lips is wise.
*Proverbs 15:1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger
*Proverbs 19:11 Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense.
Way to go Malachai! And thanks for the reminder of applying the Proverbs, or any verse in the Bible to my own heart. I do, but many times I'm thinking of ways to teach it to my children instead of just absorbing it into my own life first. Love you and miss you...
