Drip ... Drip ... Drip

Proverbs 19:13 

A foolish son is the calamity of his father: 

and the contentions of a wife 

are a continual dropping.

con·ten·tion  n.

                           1. The act or an instance of striving in controversy or debate. 

                           2. A striving to win in competition; rivalry: 

                           3. An assertion put forward in argument.

Are you a constant drip?

Each time I read this verse, I remember the months of rain in the Seattle, WA area.

It seemed that from October to March, 

it rained, or we were enveloped in a thick fog each day.

The constant drip wore on my spirit, on my nerves, on my disposition.

Perhaps you don't have that experience, 

but maybe you have listened to a leaky faucet with its constant drip.

The writer of Proverbs describes the contentious wife in this way.

Do you strive to be in charge?

Do you argue until you get your way?

Do you question your husband's every decision?

Is there rivalry in the home?

Why not practice your plumbing skills and stop the drip today?
