“Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.” – James 1:19-20
I have doubts and questions sometimes with my actions towards my son. Lately I have noticed how I have been responding to him, minsan kasi ay harsh na pala ako sa kanya. Napapasigaw ako unintentionally kapag hindi siya nakikinig agad dahil gusto ko siyang maging maayos lagi especially sa kanyang oras ng pag aaral. I want him to do better because it is for his own good. I am not gentle with my words and actions. I easily get upset and angry kapag hindi siya nakikinig sa mga sinasabi ko. There are times that I’m not really sure how to handle the situation. God’s Word is a reminder to me to speak more gently to my son. It taught me that I should be more careful with my words and actions. I should listen first before responding to him, and think about my words before I speak. Importantly, honor God in everything that I do and say. I thank God because He gives my son understanding and he always ask sorry kapag may mali siyang ginagawa. God made him realize his mistakes. I praise God for his wisdom and guidance. I just always pray that God will continue to give us wisdom and to be more gentle, patient and not being an angry parent. I know that without God’s guidance, I can do nothing.
