"My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires"

James 1:19-20

"And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone."

1 Thessalonians 5:14 

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

Galatians 6:9 

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."

1 Corinthians 13:4–8

"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."

Romans 12:12 

When Life Gives You Lemons…

  • Don’t make lemonade.
  • Make life take the lemons back.
  • Get mad.
  • Say, “I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these?!”
  • Demand to see life’s manager.
  • Make life rue the day it thought it could give lemons to you.
  • Burn down life’s house—with the lemons.
