Day #5. Answer Without Arguing:
Proverbs 17:1 "Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife."
This is a big one for me. I have trouble a lot with arguing when there is no need. It hurts relationships you have with whoever your arguing with, especially your siblings and parents. This challenge is another one to teach us to keep our mouths shut, and think before we speak. Take a breath, count to ten, pray, sing, do whatever it is to calm down. For me that's hard because I have a temper and will say stuff I don't mean, and regret it later. If you are like me and fail all the time with this one, the thing we need to do is humble ourselves before God and ask forgiveness, and then go to that person and do the same. It's harder than it sounds, but it's worth it. Ephesians 4:26 says, "Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:". So, let's try answering without arguing. :)
