Communication Part 3
"Better, a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city." (Proverbs 16:32 niv)
Sometimes our actions speak so loudly it becomes difficult for others to hear what our mouths are saying. We all have emotions, and we all can get upset about things. It's extremely important that we control and manage those feelings, or they will destroy us.
We are mirrors, and our job is to reflect God in all our ways. God wants us to reflect His goodness so He can show the world that the right ways work. We businessmen and women can ruin our reputations by slamming a door, blurting out harsh words, or even simply displaying a mean look in silence. Emotions are like gasoline: They are dangerous and destructive but valuable when controlled or channeled properly. The emotions in us are a source of energy, and if that energy is harnessed, it becomes a valuable asset within us. Remember that people will judge us by how we act and react. Whose reflection will they be judging?
"Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control." (Proverbs 25:28 niv)

Travel Tips: Get Organized For Family Travel Pt. 2

Pack It Light, Pack It Right
Packing prowess separates veteran travelers from the armchair variety. Keep these ideas in mind as you pack for vacation travel:
Lighten the load. It's an old saw that still cuts--when traveling, less is more. For each family member, lay out all clothing and personal care items needed for the trip. Remove half before you pack the rest.
Forget what mother told you, and pack your oldest underthings! Collect worn-out socks and underwear throughout the year. When traveling, wear and toss. You'll lighten the load and make room for souvenirs as you go.
Investigate packing organizers. Pack clothing, socks, underwear and personal items in zipper food storage bags to cut wrinkles, protect clothing, and organize suitcases. Commercial organizers can be worth the cost for frequent travelers. Check them out!
Pack children's clothing day-by-day. For easiest travel with kids, use large zipper food storage bags to pack a complete outfit for a single day. Dirty clothing can be re-stored in the bags.
Plan for T-shirts. Family vacations mean t-shirts, t-shirts, t-shirts. Deliberately under-pack, knowing you'll add these garments along the way. Take care of yourself! Put together personal care kits for each family member in a zipper bag or cosmetics organizer. Include sample-sized bottles of shampoo, shower gel, lotion and sun block. Use motel supplies along the way to replenish care kits. At vacation's end, re-stock care kits and store inside suitcases for the next trip.
