Bible Question:
Hi everyone, i just would like to say, you guys are really prompt when asnwering question and very fast. Thanks for all your help...I'm looking for help or right and wrong feelings on what to do in this issue that just arised. I'll lay down some basic facts here about the situation. 1) I live with my mom in a 3 story condo/apartment. 2) Were on the 2nd floor and we have neighbors below us. 3) These neighbors below us are angry with us, because they say we make too much noise. 4) The carpet that we have on this floor when we first moved in was new carpet but with not much padding so it's like they can hear us walk around even when we just do regular foot steps as a normal person would do in their house. 5) They say that we make too much noise and that they hear everything we do and it wakes their daughter up all the time when were up at night whether if were up at 12am or 3am.... 6) The neighbors downstairs are 1 mom and 1 daugter. The daugeter is below me. 7) Today the mom from downstair was really angry with us and she I guess had a nice yelling talk with my mom about how much noise we make and it wakes her daughter up. 8) My mom said there is nothing really we can do about it expect be more carefull about what we do. but it's not like were not going to move at all when the sun goes down and not do things because it's the carpet that's why it makes so much noise. Because we don't have a problem hearing the 3rd floor people above us because they have padding on their carpet. 9) Basically, the lady downstairs is really angry with us and tells us how hard she works and was trying to guilt my mom and making her feel bad or something and basically what she wants us to do, is if she says "sit" we "sitdown". 10) I say, well okay we'll be more carefull about what we do but there are some things we just can't help and I know that's not what the downstairs neighbors are going to realize...Because when we accidently drop things at night even if it's like 9PM or 10PM, the downstairs neighbors make a huge loud thump on their cieling, to show us that they herd what we were doing and they are mad about it. You know.. What does the bible say about this kind of situations about neighbors? I know it says love your neighbors as thyself. Could you reply with your own feelings and thoughts on this as well with bible passeges on what would be the right thing to do in this situation? Because apart of me just wants to go downstairs and talk to the lady and give her my perspective and not be mean to her but just let her know what I think about it... kind of long story but thanks for your help. |
Bible Answer: My advice to you is to keep Phillippians 4:6 in mind, "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God". Here Paul's advice is to turn your worries into prayers. Ask Him for guidance, help, wisdom, on this type of situation. |
