Verse of the Week - 1 Peter 3:10 - June 15

I remember the day that I took this picture very clearly. My bike was in the shop for a tire change, so I rode with my husband on his bike. Our destination was Grand Gulf State Park outside of Thayer, Missouri. Click Here for more information about Grand Gulf State Park 

Not one cross word escaped my mouth that day. I enjoyed the Ozark scenery and the feeling of being at one with my husband and the motorcycle we were riding down the highway. More than once, I thanked God for blessing me with such an amazingly perfect day.  

Just remembering the day causes happiness to bubble up inside of me. Have you had a day like this? 

Peter gave us an excellent prescription for living a happy life in the midst of this ill-natured world. We need to stay in control of our tongue. If we strive to be sincere, peaceful, and discreet with what we say, we can pass peaceably and comfortably through the world. This is the best way to keep life calm and manageable.*
