“Sometimes it’s best to just keep quiet.”
“God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let
your words be few.”
ECCLESIASTES 5:2 NIV
The calendar on my desk had this printed on one
of the days last week. I like the
advice; unfortunately, I struggle keeping quiet with those I feel safe and
comfortable talking with in a more intimate setting. I find that I say things that aren’t necessarily
kind or sensitive. I can be
argumentative when the topic is near and dear to my heart. And to be honest, I do get tired of being
quiet. I have to listen to other
people’s opinions, shouldn’t they have to hear mine? And then there are the times people want to
know what I am thinking, until I honestly tell them. Conversations can be difficult. In the future, I will continue to try to use
few words. I am sure I will continue to
mess up as well. I am human after all.
