God gives you the power to have self-control

Dear RF Friends,
 
On Sunday, we finished up our nine lessons on the fruits of the Spirit with a lesson on self-control.  In James 3:3-10, we're reminded that our words have power.  James uses practical images like a horse bit, a ship's rudder, and a flame to show us just how powerful they are.  We can use words to encourage and help others, or we can use our words to hurt them.  
 
Bottom Line: God gives you the power to have self-control.  Self-control can be tricky, especially when we want something really bad or when life doesn't go our way.  This can also be true with the words we use.  We pray that kids will begin to see that they don't need to do this all on their own.  God can help them show self-control.  
 
Time is winding down, but there is still opportunity to catch-up on Bible memory verses!
