  4. I keep being told to shut up, what does that say about me?

    Loved your post food for thought.

  8. Blessings Wanda,

    I came to have my soul watered by few words… by a wise woman of God! You truly are wise.

    I pray that you are not going through a trying time, but you are so right about it's hard to see beauty that surrounds us each day when we are…
    Amen and amen to may He open our eyes that we might see in a fresh way… and few words!

    Peace and JOY,
    Peggy

  9. Amen — good reminder that it's often more important to listen than to speak. Blessings!

  11. I think I can consider myself as a wise person because I use few words, my husband hates my silent treatment though. Great post Wanda!

  14. I want to be wise, but it is so hard to shut my mouth. I'm getting better at it with age. Maybe when I'm 80, I'll be a pro, or maybe I'll just have forgotten what I was going to say in the first place. Either way, I'll be wiser, right?

  15. Amen…I really need to remember this the next time I feel the need to spout off…Lord, help me!

  16. I think there's a Scripture that says "even a fool is thought wise if he keeps his mouth shut." Too many words come sliding out of my mouth at times.

    Thanks for the reminder.

  17. There is a reason God gave us two ears and only one mouth. Unfortunately, I'm often guilty of doing too much talking and not enough listening.

    Great word for today.

  18. I'm a quiet person, my husband doesn't like it though:) i just don't like arguments:)

    If I don't have something good to say, I've rather shut up.
