How easily we can recall hurtful words spoken to us long ago, and also positive, uplifting ones. It is easy to lash out in anger, I've been that person too. And today we see the f-word being used as part of everyday language so frequently that no one even stops to think about what it means. I detest it! We can always, always use a refresher course on anger and on the words we use. I'll be following along!:-)Josie Two Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18388032819905416258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941371995600376751.post-81330540490764458202017-05-28T15:29:43.189-05:002017-05-28T15:29:43.189-05:00Aren't we all?! 😇Aren't we all?! 😇Barbara In Caneyheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053601327400989802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941371995600376751.post-85985298369119803402017-05-26T21:07:50.711-05:002017-05-26T21:07:50.711-05:00Some of the biggest troubles I have had is opening...Some of the biggest troubles I have had is opening my big mouth. Most of this happened in my twenties. I learned the hard way to watch my mouth. <br />I've never cursed much. I taught school and a slip up would be a hassle. However, my developmentally delayed brother loves cursing. Long story short, I learned I did curse a bit.

I must've seemed like such a huge prude when I substituted milder words the one time I played Cards Against Humanity. A few other times, I begged off playing the game, since I really don't like the casual use of curse words. These words lose their strong impact when they're carelessly flung around, instead of only used in moments of great anger or judiciously in a long book.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941371995600376751.post-51753349861279196262017-05-23T16:05:47.805-05:002017-05-23T16:05:47.805-05:00"think on these things" I like that.

The others are bad enough, but the really foul one using His name is nearly driving me mad. <br /><br />It has been suggested to me that perhaps I need to just go ahead and say it and that it would be out of the way, that the devil wouldn't have it to keep tormenting me. But, I don't think so. I think, for one thing, I would loathe myself even more if I allow it to touch my lips. Secondly, the devil wouldn't leave me alone. He'd find something else to torment me with, just like a bully does, because he would know he could break me.<br /><br />I keep praying for Heavenly Father to remove all bad thoughts from my mind, to not let them in there to start with. Our devotional yesterday was about continually asking God this or that, so maybe that's just what I need to keep doing, pestering Him until He makes it stop.<br /><br />Have a blessed day!Suzanne McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563562309945754772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941371995600376751.post-52049314140197936542017-05-22T06:04:30.364-05:002017-05-22T06:04:30.364-05:00Barbara,

My general solution is to avoid speaking when I am angry - shutting up so that I don't say things I'll feel ghastly about later. Not that it always works.<br /><br />Yesterday my child and I had a mini discussion on this - he gave me the quote about anger leading to hate and suffering, Buddha via Star Wars, told him anger has a place too - must be angry against wrong stuff and use it as a prod to action, not words. Empty anger is avoidable, does more harm to the person feeling it than anyone else.

The one that totally does me in is the one using His name. I do not say it nor do I want to. However, wherever I go, including into my own yard, I am lambasted with it. The neighbors are potty mouths and it flows freely over there. When I hear it, the horrible phrase repeats incessantly in my head. I don't want it in there. I do not know how to get it out. That troubles me greatly because the Bible says if we think it, it is the same as having done it. So, every time I hear it and it reverberates through my head, I'm as guilty as the one who said it, even though I didn't choose for it to be in there. I pray to not be able to hear it, for it to stay out of my head. He knows I do not want that phrase in there, yet, there it is. Do you know how to combat this when it is all around you and prayer isn't removing the problem?<br /><br />Have a blessed day.Suzanne McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563562309945754772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2941371995600376751.post-70547023746992917712017-05-17T23:57:39.310-05:002017-05-17T23:57:39.310-05:00 Just like children do, grownups can simply get cr...

I tend to "gossip" with hubby about a situation going on in the extended family and although I can control my words/anger around others, my thought process about it is one of anger and words I wish I could say, but wouldn't say because I'm trying to control my words (make sense?) God does address in his scripture a lot about controlling the tongue; I guess he figured we would need all the help we could get with it.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
