Sticks and Stones might Break my Bones....

And words will definitely hurt me! Whoever came up with that saying, "but words will never hurt me," was wrong! Words definitely will hurt us! It is cool that Zita blogged about our tongues being the sharpest weapons in the world, because that is something I have been reading about, and God has been showing me. Here are some scriptures in Proverbs:

"Gentle words bring life and health; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit." Proverbs 15:4 (NLT)
"Only the wise can give good advice; fools cannot do so." Proverbs 15:7 (NLT)
"The Godly think before speaking; the wicked spout evil words." Proverbs 15:28 (NLT)
"Kind words are like honey--sweet to the soul and healthy for the body." Proverbs 16:24 (NLT)

Be careful of what you say, you can't take it back. I heard this story before about this little boy who asked his momma; "Momma why do you say be careful with what you say, you can't take it back?" Then his mom told him, "Son go spread 30 feathers along the road today and then in the morning go pick them up." So the kid did, and in the morning he only found 5. His momma said, "See son you might not find them all, just like your words. Your words get spread around." 5 minutes you have with someone, you are taking those 5 minutes from them, will they remember it being good or bad?! Communication is, speaking, listening, and understanding. Statistics say, our actions represent 35% of what is remembered in a conversation. That's about all, I am really tired right now, which is kind of weird for me, but I am!!! Goodnight!
Much Love,
