My girls like to talk all of the time.  They talk so much that they don’t get their toys picked up in a normal time span or even missing the bus in the mornings due to getting into a long conversation with each other.T

My wife blames me for this and tells me they got the consent talking from me.  I’m the same way.  If I start talking about a subject that I’m really interested in then I can talk for hours and they are showing this characteristic.

As much as my girls talk, I’m still glad they can talk and communicate normally with me and my wife.  There are several parents out there that have to talk to their kids in a different way besides talking.

I never really recognize how much I talk until my daughters were born and started talking.  I wonder if I have ever annoyed any one for talking to much.  If I did, then I’m sorry for annoying you.

Please feel free to leave comments below on your experience with people that talk to much in your family.  Is it a good thing or a bad thing?

Bible

Proverb 15:1 is one of my favorite verses in the bible. I try to think and remember this verse every time I get angry and mad at something. Being a father of four young kids, this is almost a daily occurrence. Reacting to something while you are mad almost always end up putting you into a worst position then if you calmly approach the issue.

The main thing this verse teaches you is to approach any situation with a calm attitude and the results will end up being better than if you approach it with anger. Next time when something makes you angry, approach it with a calm cool head and see what happens.

Here are three different bible translations of Proverb 15:1.

Proverbs 15:1

New International Version (NIV)

1 A gentle answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.

 

Proverbs 15:1

New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

1A soft answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.

 

Proverbs 15:1

English Standard Version (ESV)

1 A soft answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Psalm 23 is one of my favorite readings in the bible. When I feel nervous or fear for any reason, this reading helps me calm down and realize that God is by my side through this journey. If you have kids then you know the nervous and fearful feelings of a parent.

To me Psalm 23 talks about how you are not alone and to put your fears and trust into God. It also states how goodness and mercy will follow you until the end.

Here are two different bible translations of Psalms 23

 

Psalm 23

New International Version (NIV)

A psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[1]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.

Footnotes:

  1. Psalm 23:4 Or the valley of the shadow of death

 

Psalm 23

English Standard Version (ESV)

The Lord Is My Shepherd

A Psalm of David.

23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.[1]
3 He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness[2]
for his name’s sake.

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,[3]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely[4] goodness and mercy[5] shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell[6] in the house of the Lord
forever.[7]

Footnotes:

  1. Psalm 23:2 Hebrew beside waters of rest
  2. Psalm 23:3 Or in right paths
  3. Psalm 23:4 Or the valley of deep darkness
