Peace & Quiet

Issue #0024

“Better a dry crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting with strife.”

Proverbs 17:1, NIV

“A meal of bread and water in contented peace is better than a banquet spiced with quarrels.” Proverbs 17:1, the Message Bible

How true the words of this Proverb ring.

The best things in this world mean little or nothing if strife is the atmosphere of our home. Strife invites havoc into our daily lives and gives birth to continual chaos. When we are perpetually at odds with our spouse, we are operating in the red emotionally. It’s exhausting. We are navigating life with a divided team. It’s lonely. It is often a slippery slope that leads us to become opponents. It’s risky and dangerous.
