Words 2
Be careful with your words. Once they are said, they can be only forgiven, not forgotten. (Carl Sandburg, late Pulitzer Prize American poet)
Sandburg continues, “There are all kinds of words: words of wisdom, words of encouragement, fighting words, words to live by, foreign words, simple words, big words, naughty words, strong words, last words.” We’ve heard them all, and we remember with joy those that encouraged but struggle to forget those that hurt. Let’s be sure to spread cheer and joy with our words.
Be joyful. Grow to maturity. Encourage each other. Live in harmony and peace. Then the God of love and peace will be with you. (2 Corinthians 13:11)
