The Lord has been dealing with my attitude and lack of loving conversation with my family. we have been so ingrained in being sharp with our own children, family members, but easier to be civil to others. some times being civil is thrown out the window when i am not prepared to hear a harsh comment made to me and i have been thrown off guard. a true evidence of a Christ like being is to have overcome such sinful behavior and it is a goal worth reaching for.

The Lord has been training me in the elimination of cynicism, sarcasm, and their cruel step-sister, criticism. I have found in doing this, I am more thoughtful in conversations, AND, my vocabulary has increased.
Peace.

This is definitely an issue I need to wrap some thought on.. I often find myself looking back wishing I’d be more civil in my discourse.. Such discourse is sharpening my humility and weakening my pride and that is a very good thing…
