Some people are like a blue jay. They interrupt other people's conversation; they have to know everybody's business, and often they make a nuisance of themselves. Oh, they probably don't mean to but if they do more listening than talking and tune in to other people's feelings, they might see some of the harm they do. It's shame but you have to be careful about what you say around these people. You may find out that your words are being broadcast all over town.

But rather than hate people who gossip, you need to do three things. First, make sure that you don't gossip. Gossiping can ruin your reputation, as well as others. Second, it may be different, out being honest with gossipers. Let them know in a kind way, they've hurt you with their words. Third, Pray for those who hurt others by gossiping, and pray for yourself. Pray that you won't be a blue jay by sticking your nose in other people's business and broadcasting it all over town. Gossiping is annoying and it hurts. Don't do it yourself and help those who do to stop.
