Shane A. Saylor,
Hot tempers cause arguments, but patience brings peace.
~ Proverbs 15:18
We are all quick to temper, and we shrink from confrontation when our tempers
flare because it can scare us because we never expect it to erupt the way it does. With
the eruption comes noise. This noise can come before, during or after the eruption.
Sometimes it comes in all three. The noise can be fists pounded on table tops or counter
tops. But almost certainly it is spewed forth in the form of loud or raised voices.
Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.
~Psalm 19:2
Yet, we never really learn the lesson. The lesson that the quietest of us are also
the loudest of us. Not because we have nothing to say, but because we feel we must
have our voices heard. Do not mistake our silence for submission, for we are silent so
we might learn. Yet our education is forever continual. Forward and onward to greater
knowledge and understanding.
The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
~Psalm 34:18
The mother is dead, and our souls grieve. Yet we struggle to rise above grief and
break the fetters it has placed upon us. Yet once the fetters of grief have been broken,
we find that those who seek to help us, has placed yet more fetters upon us. And yet I
now know why the caged bird sings. For at any given time, we are all that bird, crying for
freedom we are all heard but not freed.
