Thought for August 12

[Thought for the Day]

     It would be well for every man to sign a pledge to speak kindly in his
home, to let the law of love rule his speech. Parents, never speak hastily.
If your children do wrong, correct them, but let your words be full of
tenderness and love. Every time you scold, you lose a precious opportunity
of giving a lesson in forbearance and patience. Let love be the most
prominent feature in your correction of wrong.  Adventist Home, p. 440
