Proverbs - Shhhhh...It's Early!

Proverbs 27:14

He that blesseth his friend with a loud voice, rising early in the morning,
it shall be counted a curse to him.


This is quite an interesting observation.  We must not call people and wake them up based upon our own sleeping schedules.  We should be sensitive to the sleep patterns of those we love.  If our friend has a new baby we should not make her phone ring early in the morning, she won’t be blessed.  If we get up early and enjoy the dawn but our friend enjoys a later wake up, do not call or stop by because it works around your schedule.  If your neighbors rise early and you have loud music playing at night, it is inconsiderate and you are ruining their morning.  If you start a construction project in the dawn and wake up those who live near you it will be counted a curse.  Let us not live to please ourselves.  Let us not look out for our own interests but also on the interests and schedules of others.
