       Number Five in my list of peace-keeping tips: Thinking before we speak and considering carefully what we say. “For there is nothing covered up which is not going to be exposed, nor anything private which is not going to be made public. Whatever you may say in the dark will be heard in daylight, and whatever you whisper within four walls will be shouted from the house-tops” (Luke 12:2, TLB). It is important for us to think before we speak if we are going to keep peace in our lives. Just saying what comes to your mind when your in a conversation is just not a good idea. Sometimes you may need to pause for a noticeable moment before speaking, and that’s ok. Again, James has told us, “So also the tongue is a small thing, but what enormous damage it can do. A great forest can be set on fire by one tiny spark” (TLB). If we don’t carefully consider what we say to other people, we can end up saying things that hurts them, and in turn causes our peace to be gone.
