Holding My Tongue

Man, do I struggle with this some days at school when the kids are getting on my last nerves! lol I will try to step away from them for a second to regain my patience before I say anything rude or hurtful, but it is so easy to react right away before thinking. I think it's interesting that the devotion says evaluate your own heart and be silent, and I know I am usually evaluating what the child has done wrong before I think of what I have done or said!
