Unfortunately, I still get sucked into what I interpret as an attack from others on occasion. I have learned, however, that responding in kind or not responding at all are not the only choices. We can respond to any situation from a kinder, more gentle mindset. Remembering what the God of my understanding prefers me to say or do makes a difference in how that situation goes, as well as the rest of my day. ~ Casey, Karen. Re(p. 11). Mango Media.

Do you get sucked into what you interpret as an attack from others?
Do you have the forethought when it happens to simply not respond
or to act with love, avoiding letting anger control you?
Try next time to do as God would have you act,
making a difference in how the event ends as well as
painting the remainder of the day with a happier hue!
