Proverbs 21:23

She who guards her mouth and her tongue keeps herself from troubles. Proverbs 21:23

Wise Solomon had it right! We really need to think before we speak. Here are a few steps to help you out.

• Bite your tongue.
• Take a deep breath
• Think about the impact your words will have on the other person
• Leave if you must
• When you have had time to organize your thoughts and feelings, speak
• Remember, no matter what this person did, they are still a person who has faults, just like you

If we do this, we may save ourselves from a whole lot of heart ache and hurt feelings!
