“A man can be measured by the size of the things that make him angry.” Although the author is unknown & the quote has undergone revisions, it’s a fairly accurate statement. It holds true in family, business, education & religion – places where big men are so desperately needed. What can men do to measure up?
* Pray before acting.
* Decide if the problem is nothing more than pride.
* Consider the feelings of people & the impact of words.
* Learn that being in charge is not the same as being a leader.
* Distinguish between fixing a matter & merely nit-picking a matter.
* Be quick to ask forgiveness for reacting to an innocent mistake with a nuclear missile.
What upsets us? Measure it – its size will reveal a lot……about us!
Agree 100%. In 20 plus years of ministry I’ve found that anger and angry outbursts have done almost as much damage in marriages as alcoholism.
I’ve been away from your words for a while. I really needed to read this tonight.
Thanks Jack, I love you.
