Contention

Grateful, yes that I am still able to pen my thoughts. I’ve been missing for a while. I have a few unfinished drafts waiting for my attention. This is not one of them. I was feeling some type of way about current life events and wrote the following as it spilled out of me on a random piece of paper. I’m just going to push the button so it doesn’t add to the clutter. Peace

Experiences bring knowledge, insights and awareness

The awareness of our behaviors

the tension is elastic

stretching us

expanding and contracting our emotions

Control or release determines the climate- but does it?

The outer climate- interactions with one another are still affected

But the inner turmoil,

the tightening of the chest or the fist, versus the loosening of the tongue,

a compression wave siphoning throughout

This is what wisdom is built upon?

Weighing and gauging the reactions to one another, the final decisions redefining our relationships

Be cautious, walk circumspectly

loving one another, seeing the need of the other,

let love guide and cover us

The enemy wants us to fall apart, break bonds that bind

Don’t let a slip today destroy what years took to make

Stay focused

See through the smoke and distinguish the traps and weapons designed to deceive

and steal away

What the Lord has given us

Today, this moment,

Let peace rule in our hearts because

His love covers a multitude of sin
