Sin reared its very ugly head in my kitchen this morning and two children, that shall remain unnamed, were THIS close to a fist fight.Like a school playground monitor, I separated them and sent each to his or her respective room to calm down. Perhaps that was also to give time for ME to calm down...
I was thankful that each returned, repentent and seeking forgiveness from the other. The punitive effects?
Each had to search Proverbs and write 20 verses on the fool or the hot-tempered man.
Oh that they had such a heart in them, that they would fear Me, and keep all My commandments always, that it may be well with them, and with their sons forever!
Deuteronomy 5:29
