Day 15 - Congenial conversation—what a pleasure!

Favorite verses from today's reading:

A gentle response defuses anger, but a sharp tongue kindles a temper-fire.

Kind words heal and help;
cutting words wound and maim.

God can't stand pious poses,
but he delights in genuine prayers.

--Oh the trap of religion--

An intelligent person is always eager to take in more truth;
fools feed on fast-food fads and fancies.

A miserable heart means a miserable life;
a cheerful heart fills the day with song.

--Is good we can control our emotions :) --

Better a bread crust shared in love
than a slab of prime rib served in hate.

Hot tempers start fights;
a calm, cool spirit keeps the peace

Refuse good advice and watch your plans fail;
take good counsel and watch them succeed.

Congenial conversation—what a pleasure!
The right word at the right time—beautiful!

Fear-of-God is a school in skilled living—
first you learn humility, then you experience glory.

Proverbs 15 MSG
