Words....

Before I started to type I had a nice white page. Just like relationships, before talking is started it is fresh air. No backspace, no delete buttons, so what does one say. Small talk, weather, family, politics, church, after a while you run out of things to say. Then what? Well, several scriptures come to mind, so many in Proverbs regarding, well, quiet. A fool is thought wise with his mouth shut. Most times few words is best. That has been a hard one for me to accept. At first, I didn't think I could possible be a fool. Was I wrong. Further reading is Proverbs has shown me my foolish ways. There have been situations in the last 6 months to put this no word is better than a word to test. I did not like the results. God's word was right again. No word is better than a word.

I can remember a hard time in my marriage, I would have to pray for hours to keep my mouth shut for 5 minutes. The world today is so full of words, useless words. What really is small talk? Yes, God has been showing me what not to say. Now He is guiding me into a new journey, one where He teaches me what to say and when. Dawn
