SEVEN THIRTEEN

Where do you live? I live at 713. There is a lot of daily activity at 713. With a husband, wife, a teenager and a dog on the daily, there is bound to be lots of activity. Sometimes that grows by two more little boys and a college student. My husband and I like to entertain so there are also times that our home can barely hold another person comfortably. With all of these people around and everything that we encounter in a day, there is never a shortage of conversations for pillow talk at then end of the day.
Being the counselor that I am, I tend to want to know the why behind people's actions. I often try to resolve and solve things, mend and restore things that should very well be left alone. My husband reminds me that sometimes you have to leave people to their own devices.

1Thessalonians 4:11
Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before.

So my husband and I have developed a code as a reminder to each other to mind our own business and not concern ourselves too much with what other people have going on....Especially if it doesn't affect us.
713
When either of us brings up or begins to go into that 'zone' of other people's business, we just say Seven Thirteen. That reminds us where we live and what we need to be concerned about.
We have found that staying out of other people's business helps keep other people out of ours.

Make your life more peaceful and quiet, live at your home.

Love y'all!!!
