Friday! Proverbs!
Better a dry crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting, with strife.
Proverbs 17:1 NIV
What's your favourite feast?
We all have one...and I wonder if my favourite is more about the memory of the feeling it evokes rather than the food itself?
But this proverb is not about the food, but about the heart.
Our favourite food, the feast, is no good to anyone if there's strife, unresolved conflict, hurt, enmity.
These are issues of the heart.
The joy of the feast goes when we are not at peace with one another.
We are called to do whatever we can to be peacemakers.
It's not always possible, but we're called to try
To choose "Better"
