Hi there! I want to take a minute to say thank you for my "blog buddies". Sometimes I just write, in hopes that people are reading! It warms my heart to know there are some of you that actually care :)xoxo.
Today I am working on being less AGGRESSIVE! Now, being aggressive can be both a blessing and a curse so listen carefully. Proverbs 21:23 states "Whosoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles" (KJV) or it is stated in the New Living Translation "Watch your tongue and keep your mouth shut, and you will stay out of trouble." I think I like that better.
Now I've always had a problem with "getting the last word". I know it's not good, but that's why I'm working on it and boy has the devil been busy today! In life, you will encounter people with totally different views as those you possess. It's important to be able to deal with these people....................because they aren't going anywhere!
Sometimes I feel as though I HAVE to let {the} person know how they made me feel...because I'm always right, aren't you? But honestly, what's understood doesn't have to be explained. In some situations, saying nothing is best. People will push your buttons! Believe me because all 2516301 of mine have been pushed today. However, instead of reacting, I simply said nothing. Now I probably should have said SOMETHING...but the Lord is still working on me. Had I opened my mouth.......well, I'll leave that to your imagination.
So I challenge you to practice "keeping your mouth closed" (as mom would say) when your faced with opposition. Remember, God made us all different so I'm 99.9% your friend across the street has different beliefs than you and that's just something you have to deal with honey!
I hope this helps!
XOXO
