I may not be able to control my sneezes, but I think with a great deal of work and concentration, I can keep my mouth shut when necessary. | |||
Click here to read the first 75 lines of the story I once asked my wife, “Do you think that sneezing is an exercise?” Looking at me, she said rather soberly, “Well, it's an exercise on my patience.” I am not sure if that was a positive answer or not. Although I am skeptical, I did not want to ask and find out for certain. I exercised my right to keep my mouth shut. My wife and I went out to eat dinner the other night, and the restaurant was rather crowded. Everything was going quite excellent, we ordered and the waitress went to process our order, and we enjoyed our time together. Then it happened. I did a very loud triple sneeze heard all through the restaurant. “Thanks,” my wife said very quietly, “for all the attention our way.” I looked around, the people were looking at me, and I could not see anyone smiling. I was afraid to smile back at anybody. I was tempted to explain what happened, but I thought otherwise. I then thought of what Solomon once said. “Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding” (Proverbs 17:28). I may not be able to control my sneezes, but I think with a great deal of work and concentration, I can keep my mouth shut when necessary. Tweet
