Sabbath Keeping

25 Jul



“A fool gives full vent to his anger,
but a wise man keeps himself under control.”
~ Proverbs 29:11 ~



“Anybody can become angry, that is easy – but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose and in the right way – that is not within everybody’s power and is not easy.” ~ Aristotle ~ 


“You will not be punished for your anger,
you will be punished by your anger.”
~ Buddha ~


“The greatest remedy for anger is delay.” ~ Seneca ~


“Anger and intolerance are the enemies of correct understanding.” ~ Gandhi ~


“When angry, count to ten before you speak. If very angry, count to one hundred.”
~ Thomas Jefferson ~ 


“For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.”
~ Emerson ~


“I shall allow no man to belittle my soul by making me hate him.”
~ Booker T. Washington ~


“Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one.” ~ Ben Franklin ~


“Anger is not the opposite of love, for the opposite of love is indifference. To be angry is to care tremendously. It is a signal that your caring extends beyond polite conversation, and that you are willing to risk a confrontation to share how you feel.”

~ Doris Moreland Jones, God’s Gift of Anger ~ 



“It’s important for people to keep in mind that while anger is a feeling that everybody has, aggression is a choice.” ~ Carole D. Stovall ~ 


“Don’t rehearse your anger.”
“Do not be seized with alarm and struck with fear,
little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure 
to give you the Kingdom.”
~ Luke 12:32 ~

Please pray for ~ Nancy ~ Bonnie Jean ~ Patty and family ~ Stephanie ~ Donald ~ Dori ~ Jim ~ Steve ~ Sandra ~

    You are not the only one, Deborah, I'm the same, who had this experience a few days ago 🙁

    But this sentence is a good consolation:

    "Anger is not the opposite of love, for the opposite of love is indifference. To be angry is to care tremendously. It is a signal that your caring extends beyond polite conversation, and that you are willing to risk a confrontation to share how you feel."
    ~ Doris Moreland Jones, God's Gift of Anger ~

    Greetings and blessings!
    Stay brave and and good-hearted! You are it!

    After going to a 12-step group for friends/family of alcoholics, since March 2000, I had the realization that some people are addicted to anger.

    Anger as a way of life, a comfort zone. Little realizing their anger exposes their mental processes and fears, and smallness.

    Love the Southern response to any burst of anger experienced from others, Bless your heart.

    When I get angry, I automatically ask myself,'What am I afraid of?', 'What am I not doing for myself?', 'What can I do to change this?'.

    Knowing where most anger comes from, in others, it's easier to, Detach with love, becoming a witness instead of participant.

    "Don't rehearse your anger." Very nice.

    So cute when my beloved cat, Laskett, gets mad at me. Dinner is late, or I've been gone for the weekend, leaving him with a pet sitter. Takes forever to get thru his anger wall, but I can't stand having him upset with me. His forgiveness is always a careful, and loving licking of my nose. Best gift ever !

    Garden & Be Well, XO T
