Gentleness in Parenting

Galatians 5:22-24

 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

 gentleness, 

self-control; against such things there is no law.  

And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires."

I found some very helpful posts on gentleness in my parenting from womenlivingwell.org today. This is an area in which I definitely need to grow!

The links in the series are below. This was a 4-week challenge on Gentleness!
Week 1 - Yelling at A Bud Won't Make it Bloom
Week 2 - Replacing Old Habits with New
Week 3 - Anger Management
Week 4 - A Role Model for Gentleness

With your help Lord, help me to cultivate the fruit of gentleness, especially in the way I speak to my children.

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