Pleasant words are a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
Proverbs 16:24
Happy Tuesday to you my friends. I just love that scripture. Who doesn't enjoy a pleasant word? My favorite part is sweet to the soul. My grandson was here yesterday; he's a happy little toddler, but quite tender hearted. When he had to be scolded for something, it was more than his little heart could take and he puckered up and the alligator tears rolled down his face. We probably have all felt like that at one time or another but held them back when an unpleasant word was spoken to us.

We can choose to let our words build others up, or tear them down. Children are especially vulnerable to our words. I decorated a small box with a silver theme and have it on my bureau. It reminds me that my words to others should be like a gift. You may have seen it in a previous post here - A Word Fitly Spoken.
Set a guard over my mouth,
O Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips.
Psalm 141:3

So true -- our words can bless or hurt. Love the idea of the silver box. I assume you have read Florence Littnaeur's Silver Boxes?
ReplyDeleteSo very true -- our words are so important and especially when they are molding and shaping young lives!
ReplyDeleteAs always -- thanks so much for the free images, I'm getting quite the collection!
Bless you - fitly spoken word, indeed. And lilacs in a vintage shoe - I love them - my favorite flower. Love the backgrounds, too - need to find a clever way to use them . . .
ReplyDeleteJoy!
