Matthew 3:11 "I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry; he will baptize you with the Holy spirit and with fire."

Counting to 10
Sometimes I wonder why we don't talk about counting to 10 more often. As the wedding draws near this weekend I am watching those I love begin to battle and second guess themselves and the carefully laid plans. I almost lost it this morning. I should have remembered to count to 10. I did not. I stopped doing what I was doing and looked up and said 'WHY are you worrying about this? You are borrowing trouble and there is NOTHING we can do about it right now." Obviously that was not what the person wanted to hear as they went off on a loud commanding tirade of words. Maybe just counting to 10 would have given slight reflection time for both of us.
There are so many low priority things in life that we tend to over-react to. WHY do we do this? No one is dying, no one is hurt...but we cling to our principles and our ways demanding to be heard like it is life or death.
The past years I have truly gained insight in reflecting before speaking. When I want to pop off on a subject I stop and examine if this is indeed the right time to bring it up. 95% of the time I table it and revisit it at a better time. Ten years ago I would have never done this. Now I do it all the time. Weigh the words before they are spoken. Count to ten and then weigh the words.
