"A fool is quick-tempered, but a wise person stays calm when insulted."
Proverbs 12:16
This chapter is packed full of wisdom, but I decided to focus on this one for my kids today. We talked about how God wants us to be wise and not foolish. We discussed different ways that we can stay calm and respond kindly when others frustrate or hurt us. I think one of the biggest ways that we can teach them is by showing them. It can be a challenge some days, but I try really hard to respond to them in a way that Jesus would want for me to, and therefore showing them how I (and Jesus) expect for them to respond to others.
