VERSE FOR THE DAY

Proverbs 15:1 

A soft answer turns away wrath,But a harsh word stirs up anger.

Harsh words abound in our language today, they cause anger, hard feelings, and strife.

The words cut so deeply and are hurtful to all, and they inflict a deep cut like a knife.

They cause anger and problems too severe to control, and bad feelings are the result,

So no one should ever use words of this kind, no child, adolescent, young person, or adult.

Soft answers are pleasing to our Lord up above, He takes pleasure in those who thus speak,

So next time you are tempted to answer roughshod, breathe deeply,imitate Jesus, and be meek. (RP)

This morning we will be going down to the Ferndale Senior Activity Center where we will teach the Bible class.  We are studying the book of Hebrews.  It is a challenge to teach this book and make it applicable to everyday living.  Of course that's what the book is all about so we are having a great time in it.  Margie had a good night. I continue transferring the edited remarks to the clean copy getting our Brazil book ready for publishing.  It also is challenging but enjoyable.  Thanks so much for praying.
