In a small way, I was a peacemaker today. I sat down to eat dinner, and dished up all the littler kids. Then the baby started crying, so I fed him a bottle, then I got up to the table. The kids were asking me for more drinks as I was trying to put a plate together, and I just stayed calm instead of being grumpy inside. I finally got to eat (I microwaved it to get it hot) and I still had to stop about 14 times to put fires out, but I finally gulped down some food and still felt good and calm. I had a good attitude because I CHOSE TO!
I also figured out something else: I know why Moms always taste their food 3 times just to make sure it tastes right. Because that's the only hot dinner they are gonna get! I'm gonna do that from now on! LOVE TO ALL!

I'm proud of you. I face all the same things daily. I do know that when I pray and read the scriptures even a little in the morning,it is easier to be a peacemaker. It's like at the moment I face the crisis where I should crab at someone, I the Lord gives me a pause and I choose not to. Without that pause I just react in a bad way. That is the best way to describe it. I think you know what I mean because that happened to you 14 times today. I am strengthened also by you and your example. Keep it up shug!
