Too many times... I speak... when silence is required... a question better than a statement...
Learning to discern where people are... is more important... than sharing what you know... or have learned...
Lacking good role models for conversation... I find myself at a loss...
Lectures loomed large in my growing up... little room for conversing...
There was doing... and instructing... but not much heart to heart...
So now... I desire to keep communication flowing... dam up my own wayward words...
I see... too late... in retrospect... within moments of speaking... what would have been better...
This recognition of better... it's improvement... growth... but I long to do better in the moment... not just recognize a moment missed...
Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;
Keep watch over the door of my lips.
Psalm 143:3 KJV
Thank You Lord... for opening ears and eyes to a better way... guard my mouth... teach me when to keep silent... and when to tread lightly...
