Slow to speak,

Be quick to listen - Ok... possible

Slow to speak - can try, achievable

And slow to become angry - almost impossible :D

I love this one..I have this habit of opening a random page of the Bible everyday. I still get astonished at the acccuracy with which I get an answer or an instruction on something pertaining to the day.

Thats a hard one because we are often quick to speak.

Margie said...

Beautiful picture... and, that has
to be one of the best from Proverbs. Thanks for sharing that.
You have a great blog!

sometimes slow to speak might turn out to be pretty regretful :-< :D

"Anger" is my weak point too :(
Am in much better position in controlling it but I still have a long way to go...

Like every verse in Bible this verse opens a brand new window to each .

I can't get angry. Oops! I get angry but I don't usually express it.Thats a problem for me. There are situations in life where you should express anger.
