I decided to start this blog (2010) because my son, John-Robert gave me a One Year Bible for Christmas, the New Living Translation... reading it has changed my life... I post a daily Bible verse on my Facebook page every day and it has been well received... I thought that this would be a wonderful way to share part of what I read each day!... I hope that you enjoy it.



This Year 2012 I am going to do things a little different... not much...just a little. I am again reading through my One Year Bible (for the 3rd time). But I am also using "The Secret Power of Speaking God's Word" by Joyce Meyer. This book is divided by putting scriptures under different categories so they can be used to speak over our life situations. Each day I will read a category of scripture and pick a scripture in that category to write about.

6.26.11

Proverbs 17:27 A truly wise person uses few words; a person with understanding is even tempered.

My Thoughts
This made think...that if we keep our mouth shut when we first feel the need to get angry...and take time to try and understand where the other person is coming from we would avoid so many misunderstandings.  We would become more even tempered..... Have you ever noticed how many older people seem to do this?  They have that wisdom to have patience...they let people finish their thoughts so they know the whole story before the speak... they are better to understand that things usually have two sides...the have wisdom of experience.  Just think how much better off we would be if we just took this verse to heart and had the wisdom to do this at an early age?  It would save us so much trouble and heart ache. We often say if we only had instructions...we do...we just have to learn to read the instructions and follow them.
