Avoiding Idle Talk

SHUN the gossip of men as much as possible, for discussion of worldly affairs, even though sincere, is a great distraction inasmuch as we are quickly ensnared and captivated by vanity.

Many a time I wish that I had held my peace and had not associated with men. Why, indeed, do we converse and gossip among ourselves when we so seldom part without a troubled conscience? We do so because we seek comfort from one another's conversation and wish to ease the mind wearied by diverse thoughts. Hence, we talk and think quite fondly of things we like very much or of things we dislike intensely. But, sad to say, we often talk vainly and to no purpose; for this external pleasure effectively bars inward and divine consolation.

Therefore we must watch and pray lest time pass idly.

When the right and opportune moment comes for speaking, say something that will edify.
Bad habits and indifference to spiritual progress do much to remove the guard from the tongue. Devout conversation on spiritual matters, on the contrary, is a great aid to spiritual progress, especially when persons of the same mind and spirit associate together in God.
Thomas A. Kempis

Matthew 12: 35-37
And Jesus said:
35.A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
36.But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
37.For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

May the love of God overtake and fill all of His servants!

Have a most blessed evening...all of you
Shalom...><>

Good morning Shalom,

Thank you for asking about my family. My wife is in FULL PANIC MODE, haha, as ALL the relatives show up for T'day turkey here at our humble abode AND she has been planning my daughters wedding (which is SATURDAY) .....dare I say I have been making myself very small?

In reality she is doing a super wonderful(in other words her usual ) great job. The One Who Provides certainly set Connie in front of me.
(and Connie made me marry her) :o) :o)

How is Shalom, in the face of this Thanksgiving week, I know your heart is on your family loss. I CAN ONLY SAY PRAISE GOD THAT HIS PROMISE IS REAL. JOHN 14.

No tears in heaven,~~ no sorrows given,
All will be glory in the~ land;
There'll be~ no sadness, all will be~ gladness,
When we~~ shall join that~ happy band~~.

No tears~~in heaven fair,
No tears, no tears up there,
Sorrow and pain~ will all have flown~~;
No tears~~ in heaven fair
No tears~no tears up there,
No tears in heaven~~ will be known.

My friend that recently passed from this life said, "If you cry, cry for you if you miss me, but don't cry for me, I will be "GREAT"".

And the last song she wanted sung to her on this earth was this:

There's a stirring deep within me,
could it be my time has come?
When I see my Gracious Savior,
Face to face when all is done.

Is that His voice I am hearing,
Come away my precious one.
Is He calling me?
Is ~~He~~calling~~me?

I will rise up, rise up!
Then I'll bow down
And lay my crown
At His precious wounded feet!!

I will rise up, rise up!
Then I'll bow down
And lay my crown
At His precious wounded feet!!

There's a stirring deep within me.
