D-Word Series Part 55: Poison Of Vipers

Play for the Audio Version


Good morning everyone and happy hump day! Yup, my sentiments exactly. As I said before, with this whole Corona virus pandemic? Do any of us really keep track of what day it really is anymore?

Well, probably not as much as you did when you actually had to know what day it was because you had to go somewhere. Like work right? Yep, remember those good old days.

Well, anyway like I said before, I really feel like this divorce series is going to be ending soon. Well, actually that's what I thought before. But, we all know what happened with that! ( I am still writing about it!) So, picture me just zipping my mouth about that, and letting the ending day of this series surprise not only you guys but myself as well.

One morning I'm gonna decide this is the last day of the series!  Folks, let me tell you guys  this though. You may or may not have been reading this divorces series. Shoot, maybe, you don't even read my blog at all? You Just somehow all of the sudden got to my writing.  And, you thought what the heck might as well read this.

Yeah, if that's how it goes? Then, I guess that is how it goes. Doesn't bother me. I don't care if you do not read my writings. Um well, I guess I care a little bit. I mean I just share this because it's all for your encouragement. But, if you don't wanna read them then it does not bother me. I just don't understand why‐--. Oh never mind I'm sorry, And ithat is all I will say about that.

I do want to add 1 more thing. And, that is this. Even if you guys never heard my stuff before, I ask of you, no I beg of you to...  Just listen to the reading for today.

Especially, if you are a spouse. Read it even if you are not a spouse. Maybe one day you will be a spouse or you will end up meeting a spouse you can pass on these words to.

Maybe you will end up talking to somebody who will be having problems in the future who is a spouse? I don't know. I just think you should read it.
The things that I have learned in the past from readings, audio books, and pastors?

Out Of the million years Joe and I have been married? The following stuff that I remembered to share with you guys, probably have even saved our marriage from going south.

Let's dive in! Fellow spouses, let me ask you something. Think about it. How many times have we been the butt of gossip and other bad words that were meant to harm our marriage? I'm thinking probably a lot.

I remembered one time hearing that the worst kind of gossip is going to be what you say about your spouse. Oh I remember I also heard this. "What you spend time saying about your spouse can tell a lot about your marriage."  It also says a lot about what kind of wife or husband you are." ( Christian Couples)

Fellow spouses, do you only voice to other people only the good stuff about your spouse? Think about it. Would you only talk about your spouse's strengths, talents, all good things about your spouse. That is what defines the happy couple!

Now, please listen up. Well, there may be negative issues that will come up. Maybe, you have just about had it with your nagging wife! And, you are a husband dying to speak to your best friend about your wife.

If you are a wife and your best friend is a male? Or, if you are a husband and your best friend is a female? Don't even go there! I have thoughts that I
will save for another writing.

Back to my reading.  OK, it's no shocker to hear that you and your spouse are going to get into disagreements. Or, either spouse is going to do something that is bound to be news worry to your friends! Totally fine to speak up about this. But, please be very careful you do not speak about this with a friend, a coworker, your parents, etc. Please, it will only be OK to speak up about this with your spouse!

OH just thought about something. Folks, it is no where near your place to start judging your spouse. Once our mouth goes off what do you think is bound to happen? Yup, judging. A lot!

Believe me, it is never acceptable to talk about your spouse with other people. How exactly would you feel if your spouse would be talking
about the bad things about you with other people? Yeah, that's what I thought.

Basically, believe me! Don't talk about your spouse with other people! Feelings of disconnect and anger is bound to
happen!

I feel silly. What comes to mind is this.. Talkling to other people about your spouse? Let me end this reading with words from Dana Carvey. I remember when he was on Saturday night live. And had the part when he would act like the church lady.

Let me quote him. And, say this. As a spouse telling other people about the bad things about the spouse? Nope not gonna do it!


A dishonest man spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends.


Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble.


Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets; therefore do not associate with a simple babbler.


Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.


Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered

TBC...........
