One week, we were desperately battling temper tantrums. I knew I needed to find something constructive for my daughter to do when she was angry. What is an acceptable way to vent anger? I wondered. Certainly not the tantrums we had been having.
The Lord brought to mind that we should be meditating on His Word: that is how we can not be in sin when we are angry. I made up this song with motions from James 1:19-20 for us to sing when we are angry. We can express our anger, but then meditate on His word, for His transforming power over our lives.
Be quick to listen (touch ears)
Slow to speak (hand to your mouth)
Slow to be angry (angry fists in front of body)
For man's anger (angry fists again)
does not bring about (crisscross hands in front of you)
the righteous life (hands/arms out to the side)
that God desires. (hands raised toward God)
