Some people gotta know when to not say anything. I hate when people say, “you know what your problem is?”…No I don’t please tell me, tell me all you can about me so I can learn who I am! sheesh. The worst thing has got to be when you are heading to a big day and someone says something to you that doesn’t initially do anything to you, but it is like a time bomb that will activate hours later. So moments before your great speech the bomb goes off. Totally ruining your day and disrupting the speech you’ve prepared for so long. Or the day you go on vacation, the minute you get off the plane someone says the not so positive comment about you and then hours later in your vacation it detonates. Sheesh. I know at times people are tempted to tell others how imperfect they are, or as scripture say, point out the splinter in someone else’s eye while you try to manage the Log in yours. You’d be surprised, when you wait on that comment, wait for another day, week, or even month for the perfect moment to lay it on them…by then you realize it’s not worth ruining someone’s day, month, year, or life time because we are all as bad as anyone else. We are all dysfunctional, but isn’t it awesome that God made us perfect even in our imperfections. We are totally functional in our dysfunction. So next time consider the timing and words you use, they may hunt you down later…not the person the words.
