A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Proverbs 15:1
In a personal situation when i feel attacked or think I need to make myself heard, my volume can get loud and the situation worsens without a doubt. If I can keep calm and don’t raise my voice the situation often diffuses and never escalades. I have to remind myself to be gentle with my words. The tongue can be a dangerous hurtful weapon.
Peace to you.

Love bears all things. 1 Corinthians 13:7
A friend who listens and doesn’t pass judgement but helps you keep true to yourself is like a rare jewel. Keep them in your bubble and don’t take them for granted.
Peace to you.

Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10
Sometimes we are blown away with God’s display of glory in our lives. Sometimes we meet with Him in the quietness.
Stop striving and remember to be still and seek contentment.

To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
Proverbs 21: 3
Ever felt life’s not fair? Just the other day during a game my grandchild hollered to his
sibling, “That’s not fair, you cheated.” Sound familiar? Sometimes I want to holler that
sentiment to another adult with whom I am admittingly envious. We have all been given
different gifts but most of us want what we don’t have. It’s a sinful world with sinful
people. I don’t think of it this way but fairness properly defined is freedom
from dishonesty, bias, and injustice. It’s a choice, it’s your choice.
Peace to you.
