151 ~ Give Your Feelings A Kick In The Can

By Kay Heitsch

A few years ago, I had to give my feelings a kick in the can! I'll explain.

I had received an upsetting phone call. I'll admit I was really ticked off to hear what someone said to someone I love. Bill was driving at the time and had sent me a text while I was on the phone. So before I thought, I told him what had been said, and now Bill was angry too.

Before I knew it, I thought of calling a few other people to let them know what was going on.

Thank God it was late, because I had enough sense not to call and upset several different people.

I had heard a good message called "Give your feelings a kick in the can!" about not letting your feelings control you. I knew I needed to put this into practice now. I asked the Lord to please help me!

As I got into bed, I thought of the text, "Don't let the sun go down on your anger." Ephesians 4:26 I knew I had to put this situation in the Lord's hands by faith and let it go.

Giving my feelings a 'kick in the can' wasn't easy, but I slept very well that night, and I planned to enjoy the next day without anger.

Remember how I led you on this long journey. Deuteronomy 8:2
