A Proverb a Day: Proverbs 17:17 Are you a true friend?

“A friend is always loyal…” says the NLT version of this verse.  So are we always loyal?  Do we stand by our friends and family as constant confidants or do we behave as fair weather friends?

I say if we want good friends to be loyal and to stick by during rough times of adversity, we have to be that kind of friend.  I thank God for all my close friends.  I would name them all but they know who they are.

Be wise

A Proverb a Day: Proverbs 15:1 Stop yellin’ all the time.

This is a proverb I think about when I am about to embark upon an argument with my wife.  I think to my self, if I say something crazy it’s just going to get worse.  So I pause and think on these words, ” A gentle answer turns away wrath,”  She probably hates it when I do it, but in the end all things simmer down.  Now if she would only do the same for me. LOL.

Let me encourage you, that when disagreements come about in any relationship, wether it be marriage, work related, etc., make sure to heed these words in order to keep your relationship from going south.  We’ve all witnessed it either first hand or via CNN.  Either way it’s not pretty.

Be wise.
