Use your self control

We have a CD of “The Music Machine,” which is a collection of catchy kids’ songs I had growing up, songs about the “fruits of the Spirit,” like joy, forgiveness, patience, and self-control.  Anna loves this CD and sings along.

One day, she wanted to watch her Sesame Street, so I said OK, but of course, I couldn’t find the “clicker” (as only Beth and her family call it).  So I said to myself out loud, “Where’s the remote control?”  And Anna quickly responded “I don’t know,” and immediately went to the kitchen to ask mommy where the self control was.
