DON’T BE FUSSY (Day 1 of 6)
I ran across this in Proverbs.
A continual dripping on a rainy day and a quarrelsome wife are alike … Proverbs 27:15a ESV
My next question was what exactly is a quarrel? (I came up with all kinds of synonyms and not all of them were bad.)
quarrel: a heated argument or disagreement, typically about a trivial issue and between people who are usually on good terms.
So we’re talking about unnecessary fussing about trivial things on an ongoing basis.
Let’s give this some thought.
It’s good to talk through difficult problems, but fussing about every little thing for no real good reason is a continual dripping and hugely annoying.
How would this play out in marriage? (Not just wives, husbands can be quarrelsome too!) What is important and what is trivial? How do you handle the trivial instead?
The audacity!
This little dandelion appeared this morning in the area that Paul is tilling for a garden extension.
