Like where we talked about whining, selfishness.

The Bible addresses selfishness.

Now, whining can also be an issue of idolatry.

But, you know, a four year old is kind of hard to explain what idolatry is.

So I just address it as self-control.

But.

Once we know what's at the heart by looking at those heart-probing questions, then I went to Scripture and I said, what does God's Word say to put off?

What does it say to put on?

Because in Ephesians, it says that we are to put off our old selves and put on our new selves.

It's created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

And so I just I looked all of those things up ahead of time.

That's being proactive so that I'm ready as those things came about.

I was I was I was quick on the draw.

And so I had my little wise words for mom's chart.

I punched a hole in it and had it hanging in my kitchen as a quick reference chart.

flip chart to use when my sweet little angels grew horns and I was at a loss for words.

It helped me so much to have that right at my fingertips, those answers, how to get to the heart, what to put off and what to put on.

Because a lot of times when I was in the heat of the moment, maybe I'm upset about something.

Maybe I have a lot going on.

Maybe I'm busy.
