Anger

Good morning world.  Anger.  When I was a kid, I was not allowed to get upset or angry, especially at my brother.  And of course he learned early on how to pester me.  Then holler for Mom, to let her know I was being mad.  So things would build up inside of me as I would try to not get mad.  And yes you guessed it, I would explode.  That pattern has followed me through my adulthood.  Although, since I became away of it several years ago, it is not quite as bad.  Except for parts of last year.  I did not explode as much as I just stayed angry.  Not a good state to be in.

So what do I do.  I have been praying a lot to have forgiveness and God's love in my heart.  That is what I know to do as a start.  I have been praying more for others, even when I do not "feel" like it.  This is not always easy to do. But I have done this in the past and it ALWAYS works.

The Bible says, "In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,and do not give the devil a foothold." Ephesians 4:26-27 NIV

Simple? Yes.  Easy?  Not always.  However, it does make for a happier life here on this earth.

Be blessed and be a blessing,

Just some of my thoughts and actions,
