You know the old adage when I point a finger there are three pointing back at me. I work at using more grace and being more thoughtful before I speak. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not always successful but I continue to work on my heart. Always a work in progress.
Peace to you.

Sometimes I find this difficult with all the social bombardment of advertisements. Telling us what we need and what we should have to be complete and happy. It’s a temporary best thing till the next best thing. It’s a choice of the heart. Be content.
“Not that i speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatever state I am, therewith to be content.” Philippians 4:11
Peace to you.

This is something I need to work on consciously, sometimes my mouth is in gear before my brain. Then my need to make amends. Humble pie.
