Verse of the Day 6-22-08

Ephesian 4:29-32
29Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
This is something that I really struggle with on a daily basis and I really have been trying to implement this verse daily into my life. I grew up with a father who I knew loved me but sometimes he didn't exactly show it or say it, and sometimes could be just down right harsh. I made a promise to myself a couple of years ago that I would lighten up on Austin and I have, but sometimes those feelings and maybe a little held over anger bleeds through. I love him and I hope he and Julie both know that! Sometimes I don't say it enough or maybe even act like it enough but if I were to lose them I would be beside myself.
