Pause Button Help

Today Heavenly Father helped me keep my cool and turn a frustrating situation into a positive learning experience. A certain child was breaking a rule and placing his siblings in great danger. I was about to kick his bootie, but I pushed my pause button and prayed. I asked him to wait in the corner until I was ready to talk to him. I went into the bathroom & explained to Heavenly Father I was very angry. I wanted to handle the situation in a way that would help everyone and keep the Spirit and love in our home. But I couldn't even imagine not being furious, feeling, love, or coming up with a positive solution. I knew Heavenly Father could, so I pleaded for His inspiration. He helped me. I didn't act in anger but Heavenly Father helped me feel love. I came up with a just, logical consequence but administered it in love and with calm teaching. Wow! That's not me! That's Heavenly Father's influence and love. I'm so grateful for His help!!!
