"But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!" (Gal. 5:15)

There is a story about a husband and wife who were continually arguing over whether of not the window should be open or closed when they slept at nights. The man insisted that the window be open, otherwise it would be stuffy and hot. The wife insisted that the window be closed, otherwise it would be too cold. One night he said the window must be open for he felt hot, but she insisted that it be closed for she felt cold. He opened it, she closed it - open, close; open, close, over and over again.

Finally, without turning on a light, the husband picked up a stool and threw it at the window. Glass shattered everywhere. They went to sleep and in the early morning, just before daybreak, the man said he had never slept better with the fresh air coming in. She replied that she hardly slept a wink, but nearly froze to death. When they turned on the light, the window was not broken, but the mirror beside it was!

Let us not be given to useless and empty bickering, but be busy in serving the Lord.
