Drip. Drip. Drip.

Drip. Drip. Drip.

Yup.

That's me.  Sometimes.
Not good.  Not good at all!

My friend just blessed another friend's daughter
with a wedding shower.
She gave a devotional talk to the bride-to-be.
But, we were all there to listen in.
And it *hit home*.

The verse?

"A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a
contentious woman are alike."
~ Proverbs 27:15 ~


The examples she gave were real and true.
Sadly.

She said that if we treated co-workers like
we sometimes treat our husbands 
those co-workers would avoid us.
Yup. Indeedy.

Again, we must all sit up and take notice.
Why would God's Word address this if it were
not true?  And true often.

It is a universal vice.
We all, at one time or another, will struggle with it.
And it is sin.
And where ought we to run with our sin?
That's right ~ to the Cross.

The LORD died for this.
HE will give strength and grace to live for HIM.
He enables us to do as we ought to.
And, HE forgives.

How wonderful it is!
One day at a time.  Moment by moment.
With HIM.

"Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, 
sweet to the soul, and health to the bones."
~ Proverbs 16:24 ~

On this journey too.
Many Blessings,
Camille
