"Choose Them Wisely"

Good morning, Wise Ones,
It's really inspiring to see you each morning, dedicated to studying Proverbs...

Our bold print are verses 24-25, the Message version:

Proverbs 22:24-25
24 Don't hang out with angry people; don't keep company with hotheads.

25 Bad temper is contagious — don't get infected. THE MESSAGE

This passage is pretty straight-forward in and of itself. I just want to continue the thought to the next logical step: this also applies to people with other bad habits - not just being hotheaded or angry people...

Have you ever hung out with people who complain all the time? (By "hang out", we mean people we spend alot of time with, not just a casual acquaintance) When you hang out with people who complain all the time, soon you find yourself complaining about everything too!! Then, before you know it; everything annoys you and you are constantly complaining!!

So please, as we have discussed MANY times before, choose your friends wisely!! You - we, are influenced by the company that we keep...

Make the choice to be wise!!
