Day 2 - 'I set the tone'

Today's devotional from the 'NOT-SO-PERFECT' Mom---

'I set the tone in the interations with my child'

"Not right now." "As soon as I finish." "in a minute." My child says mommy minutes are much longer than regular minutes, and she's right. It's easy to feel overwhelmed with my to-do list in hand--folding the laundry, cooking dinner, talking on the phone. My anger and frustration come bubbling up when my child wants my attention and I'm trying to finish just one more thing. Imagine if I called God's name and He replied, "In just a minute." Yes, there are times when we all need to be patient and wait, but am i always asking my child to wait? The to-do list grows every day--and so does my child.

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
Proverbs 15:1
