Reading – Proverbs 26-27

Highlight Verse:

“Interfering in someone else’s argument is as foolish as yanking a dog’s ears.”
‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭26‬:‭17‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I had my 2-year-old daughter on my shoulders while walking to the car in a mall parking lot when I saw someone take a parking place that someone else had been waiting for.

The catch is, this was on a street with a double yellow line. The person who had been waiting would have had to do an illegal left turn to get the space.

He didn’t care and he ripped into the parker with a string of profanities that I didn’t really want my daughter hearing.

I, being me, proceeded to point out to the profane person that he wasn’t supposed to take that space anyway.

The profanities then started hurling my way until the first guy actually pulled out of the space and the guy made the illegal turn as I hurried to my car.

All the way I was thinking that I should have kept my big mouth shut.

I proved nothing other than the truth of this proverb.
