Loquacious – talking or tending to talk much or freely; talkative; chattering; babbling; garrulous.Greatest asset, biggest downfall... my gift of gab. I think I was born with it because as far back as I can remember I got in trouble for talking. I talk alone to God, or to anyone close by – neighbor walking by, stranger in line. As one lady commiserated with me, “I’d talk to a stick.” 😂
I have learned some self-control in what I say… but still have a ways to go in how much. It just doesn’t bother me to be friendly. And there are so many people to be friendly to! I enjoy their thoughts and stories, especially their God-Story. Hands-down favorite moments.
It happens more than you’d think. A comment is made, I reply, hoping for a smile or laugh, then all of a sudden they’re telling me their life story. It’s rather amazing. If we are on a schedule – my husband will say all in fun, “keep your eyes down.” Hah -He knows… someone will look my way and I’ll start talking!
What a powerful tool I must daily dedicate to God. Without His guidance, I might be obnoxious, even hurtful. I surely have hurt others before. Oh how I pray for help to use this gift for good, and not evil.
Set a guard over my mouth, LORD and anything not of You- let it fall away, forgotten.
