[Rev. Doc]

No Real Need For Anger

"But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips."
Colossians 3:8

There are some real reasons to be angry...

A "do it yourself" catalog firm received the following letter from one of its customers: "I built a birdhouse according to your stupid plans, and not only is it much too big, it keeps blowing out of the tree. Signed, Unhappy. The firm replied: "Dear Unhappy, We're sorry about the mix-up. We accidentally sent you a sailboat blueprint. But if you think you are unhappy, you should read the letter from the guy who came in last in the yacht club regatta."

But most of the time our anger can and should be curbed.

Prayer: Ask God to help always keep a check on your anger.

"Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one."
~B. Franklin
