Signposts of Character

Crab Crossing ought NOT to be a legitimate sign in my home.
Why is it that we too often show our own worst selves among those we love most?
Billy Sunday, the fiery 20th C evangelist, said it well, "Home is the place we love best and grumble the most."

A woman of God's manner of life should be one of faith, longsuffering, love and perseverance. (2 Timothy 3:10) A worthy life. Not a crabby one!
Did I mention gratitude? Thankfulness is a "given" for a walk worthy of the Lord and another prescriptive component of said life. (Colossians 3:15) Thankful hearts are void of all hints of crabbiness.
No crabbing.....or being crabby by any other name---complaining, belly aching, carping, backbiting or bemoaning. Not allowed. At home or abroad.

Women of godly character allow the Lord to control their tongue so they can put a BIG X on "crabby"words wherever they are, especially at home.
