52 Bible Verses for MenSample

Often our frustrations or anger can result from not taking the time to listen before we jump to conclusions. Taking the time to slow down, gather more information and then make a call is huge. Not only do quick judgments lead to wrong or harmful judgments, they then breed frustration and anger in your children. We lose trust in our friends, kids, and wife when we jump to conclusions and lose our temper. Don’t take things personally, step back, listen, and respond in a way that will be helpful.
