The older I get the more I realize the power of words. The older I get the more I realize some people have no idea how powerful what they say can be. For better or for worse. I can think of many things I have said that I probably should not have, and as I try to mature as a person I try and say less and less. Words… a powerful thing. As a kid I always thought about sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Oh how wrong that was.
What we can do is say less and have perspective on why or how words encourage, or hurt us. Words… Think about it…
Proverbs 17:28 “Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.”

I think I”ve been the beneficiary of that verse more than once. Some very wise words for us all to consider, especially as we blog.
I appreciated the words you left in your message to me this morning. It made my day. Thanks.
