Bible
Proverb 15:1 is one of my favorite verses in the bible. I try to think and remember this verse every time I get angry and mad at something. Being a father of four young kids, this is almost a daily occurrence. Reacting to something while you are mad almost always end up putting you into a worst position then if you calmly approach the issue.
The main thing this verse teaches you is to approach any situation with a calm attitude and the results will end up being better than if you approach it with anger. Next time when something makes you angry, approach it with a calm cool head and see what happens.
Here are three different bible translations of Proverb 15:1.
Proverbs 15:1
New International Version (NIV)
1 A gentle answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.
Proverbs 15:1
New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
1A soft answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.
Proverbs 15:1
English Standard Version (ESV)
1 A soft answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.

One of my favorite things to do is reading. You can learn a lot of new or good stuff while you are reading. It allows you to work and train your brain. Reading is a lot healthier and better than watching the television.
One of my favorite past times is reading to my kids at bedtime. I have done this with my oldest and he now loves reading his books as well as reading right before he goes to bed.
My youngest son like this because he gets to learn new words as well as practice reading the words. This helps his reading at school. Since the beginning of the school year until now, he reading has improved greatly.
My two daughters love the one on one time when I read each of them a book and they can pick their own books out. If you have read my post Opposites then you will understand why this is important to them. They also love the stories and learning the words.
As a father, this is one of the best times of my life. I don’t read to my oldest son anymore and I do miss that. But I have three more kids to read to and that time is almost over. I will miss reading to them.
When was the last time you read to your child? When was the last time you remember being read to? Feel free to leave your answer in the comments and I will respond to the questions you have.
