“For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases.” Pro.26 ESV
I wish my children had never heard me speak a critical or unkind word about another person; sadly, I know they have. But, and this is an important but, I can see no reason why they need to ever hear one again. When it comes to criticism and gossip I can think of no better way to deal with them than the eloquent words of Barney Fife, “Nip it, nip it in the bud!” 6/24/2011 Conversations Within ts (Oak Mountain, AL)
Just me trying to be honest with God.
