What Kids (we all) Need for Caring Adults

Proverbs 17:22- A glad heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.

Encouragement is something we all need! And something we can all give...if we think before we talk. That reminds me of the verse in Ephesians-

Ephesians 4:29 Don’t use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.

Sometimes I think that I truly have the ability to encourage people and that is so important to me...so when I let my words fly willy-nilly and it hurts people, wow do I feel bad. You would think that bad feeling would make me more careful...well sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't. So this week...the highlighted place in my life will be my mouth!

It is interesting- if we internalize that scripture (Ephesians 4:29), make it a part of our life's fabric--A peaceful home will be so much easier to establish.
