Today's thought: Words about words.
Let us not be careless with our words. Words have the power to create, and to destroy.
Words, once said, can never be unsaid, and no amount of "sorry" can change that.
Words are like ripples on a stream flowing into the Universe. We will never know to what extent those who hear or read them will be affected,
Words live for centuries in myth and folklore, passed down from generation to generation.
Printed words survive for thousands of years, read by countless eyes. Carefully choose the words you commit to paper. Equally carefully, choose what you read.
Words live in our minds and hearts, either adding to or diminishing our self-esteem, self-respect, sense of well-being and quality of life.
Words spoken in the present become a part of both our future and our past.
Some words are best left unwritten and unsaid. Nothing everything needs to be known by everyone.
Words can build bridges of understanding. Words can soothe a troubled heart.
Harsh words can shatter the fragile self-esteem of a child.
Words can elevate minds to their highest potential. Words can drag us down to places best not imagined.
Words can destroy dreams. Gossip can kill a marriage.
Teasing is cruel.....not funny.....cruel.
We are responsible for our words and held accountable for them. Our words reveal without a shadow of a doubt, who we are in our minds, hearts, and souls. Words have power. Take care how you use them.
Wishing you all the blessings you wish for.....and peace, joy, and love, always.
