Speaking Well
If you can’t say nuffin’ nice, don’t say nuffin’ at all. (Cartoon character Thumper)
Seems like a pretty good piece of advice from a cartoon character, doesn’t it? Some of us can probably remember our mothers saying something like that to us when we were bad-mouthing a friend. It seems like a lot of people have forgotten that good advice today. How much better it would be if we could remember this good counsel.
Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone. (Colossians 4:6)
