Talking At The Wrong Time

Posted on November 25, 2008

I was reading in the Day By Day with William Barclay and had to pass on the reflection for today. Confession time: I’ve found myself being overly-critical lately even as much as I despise others who are. So, I really needed to be reminded of this–perhaps someone else does too.

There is nothing so valuable as knowing when to keep quiet. But, when are those times? Here are two that I believe would be very beneficial to remember well: We ought to keep silent or at very least exercise restraint

  1. When we are angry
  2. When we what to criticize  
THINK-ABAWGT-IT!
