How many times do I say when I want my sisters to stop something in public, "I will kill you if you don't stop." WAY to much. A friend of mine gently pointed this out to me. "Why do you always say 'I'll kill you' to your sisters? Are you really going to do that? What is with this violence?" He did it in such a sweet manner I didn't find it offensive at all. I was able to accept what he had to say.

Why do I say that? What is it helping? Is it glorifying to God? Jesus put the conviction in my heart to be nicer with my words. (not as easy as you'd think) My sisters may or may not notice, but I hope that they will feel like I'm trying to be kinder to them and see Christ.
