HC SHAPED OPENING GATEFOLD

Good morning!
Today I've used the beautiful die we got with the Cherry Blossom Retreat Collection

Proverbs 15:1 New King James Version

A Soft Answer Turns Away Wrath
15 A soft answer turns away wrath,
But a harsh word stirs up anger.
Wow, isn't this the truth!  Keeping calm in the middle of controversy is hard but it also defuses the situation most of the time.  NOT reacting to someone is the best.  The other person may even be saying hurtful things against your character that you know is not true, reacting to that only causes them to react to your reaction and a vicious cycle is now started.
What happens when you say something nice back instead, they have no where to go with it and often just feel like a jerk (especially given some time to think about it).
Next time someone is anger and starts trying to stir things up, try giving a "soft" answer instead of reacting.
