“It is not enough for us to choose the right words. We must say the right words in a tone that is appropriate.” Lou Priolo from the Heart of Anger
Lord, may my words and my voice be pleasing to you today. May I speak kindly to my children in a self controlled tone of voice. May I point them to the cross of Christ and remind them (as I remind myself) of all that you have done for us. May I have discipline and self control. May I NOT speak rapidly or multiply words. Help me to DELIGHT in my children- they are a gift from you. Help me to delight in the things they delight in..enjoying every precious moment we have together. Thank you for my family. They are a treasure. I pray that they will know you and love you, serve you and honor you all the days of their lives. Amen.
