talebearer
Do you remember a time when someone said something about you that wasn’t true and how you felt? I experienced that and years later the talebearer told me about it seeking forgiveness; and not only was I indignant, I was appalled! God knows I’m guilty of many things, but not what I was accused. Then took a deep breath and said; people who know me will know it wasn’t true and people who don’t, won’t matter. So don’t worry about it and gave her a hug. That works for us who are not daily under public scrutiny. But God help those who are innocent of such talebearers. Is it just human nature to be willing to repeat the bad rather than extolling the good in others?
You shall not go about as a talebearer among your people; nor shall you take a stand against the life of your neighbor: I am the LORD.

And I thought to inform you, saying, ‘Buy it back in the presence of the inhabitants and the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know; for there is no one but you to redeem it, and I am next after you.’” And he said,
“I will redeem it.”

My Mother and generations before us determined that the “Haves and the Have Nots” are the second stage, as the first stage was the “Dids and Did Nots.” Do what you need to do today so you can have that which you need tomorrow.

A laugh is a smile that just burst out loud with a happy noise. It is said the best way to weaken your enemies, whether they are bullies, politicians or unpleasant relatives, is to laugh with them.

Right
There is a fundamental difference between optimists and pessimists: pessimists are usually wrong. By definition, pessimists tend to believe the worst aspects of things or believe that the worst will happen. Occasionally the pessimist may be proved to be right, but the optimist has a better time on the trip.
I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in the right paths.

It’s April. Again, the blackbirds sing in spring; the babbling brooks awake, laughing, flowing from their winter frozen dreams, then tremble in the April showers at the sweet scent of the coming May flowers.
I will make them and the places all around
My hill a blessing; and I will cause showers
to come down in their season;
there shall be showers of blessing.

A strong man is one who can take all the bricks in life that are thrown at him, then take them and make a firm foundation for something good. You likely know someone who can do this who simply says, “Just hand me another brick!”
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before Your face. When the whirlwind passes by, the wicked is no more, But the righteous has an everlasting foundation.
