The verse for today comes from Genesis 13:8-9.
'Then Abram talked it over with Lot. "This arguing between our herdsmen has got to stop," he said. "After all we are close relatives! I'll tell you what we'll do. Take your choice of any section of the land you want, and we will separate. If you want that area over there, then I'll stay here. If you want to stay in this area, then I'll move on to another place."
How do you stop from fighting? Being in any kind of relationship is prone to have conflict in it. Sure, no one likes arguing but sometimes it's okay.
Lot and Abram were brothers; they probably fought like anyone would today. Abram suggested that they separate. When two people fight it's good to separate for awhile. If it's with your family, go in another room for a bit. If it's with friends you can tell them that you have to cool off. Just a couple days ago me and one of my sisters got in a fight and we were on a walk so I walked ahead until I cooled off. Now, the tricky part is when you're both cooled off its good to try to talk about what made you and the other person so mad? It's good to listen and be thoughtful of the other persons feelings too.
