Good Friday morning to each of you. Friday is a good day - the weekend is here!!!
Chapter 16 is full of great nuggets of truth but I want to touch on just one verse - 24 - "Kind words are like honey---sweet to the soul and healthy for the body."
Today should be a day when you consciously speak as many kinds words as you can to everyone you meet throughout the day. Try it and see if your soul and body don't feel better. Kind words bring a sweetness to the world and should come from our lips more that from anyone else. A kind word when your husband says he has a meeting first thing on Saturday morning and you had planned a family time together - a kind word when the volunteer you were counting on calls and says their kids are sick and they won't be able to be counted on today - a kind word to your child when they fight with their sibblings and drive you crazy -
And so it goes. Let today be full of kind words - and let me know how you feel by the end of the day. You might just feel like a gooey mess - (honey can do that) or you might just become someone more people like to be around because you make them feel better about themselves.
By the way - I will start - YOU ARE AWESOME AND I THANK THE LORD FOR SENDING YOU MY WAY AND HAVING OUR LIVES TOUCH!!!! HAVE A GREAT DAY SPREADING KINDNESS!

That's good. Will do. There were a lot of good verses today!
The time when I read this morning seems like forever ago, but I remember the most the parts about our life plans versus God's plans for our lives. There were several verses about that, all VERY good. I should have gotten to this blog a long time ago! I could have put some of those kind words to good use today! hehe
I think this "kind words" thing we can keep in our minds and practice - especially to one another. I so appreciate the opportunity this blog brings to share with each other DAILY on what God is speaking to me and to you. What I would have given for something like this when I lived overseas!!! Hope your day was full of "kind words" to others and to you.
