Clik on one of them to visit her journal!)

Well, I finally found my way back to my Journal!
We had a great service last night! And a very important topic...The Tongue! You know... What we Speak effects everyone who hears our words. We can speak good things, and be an encourager, or speak negative words and bring others down with us. "Let every man be swift to hear and slow to speak" Communication is Learned......People need to hear positive words come from our mouths. We can be a blessing or a curse by what we say to others. It should start in our Homes. Sometimes we tend to criticize our children instead of building them up by telling them we are Proud of them & we Love them! Moms and Dads also need to speak well of each other to their kids! Dad should say your Mom is the best mom in the world in front of his children. And moms should say the same thing about dad. Children should also give their parents a break, and let them know that they are thankful when they do something for them, and even for cooking their meals, washing their clothes, and so on. This is what the bible says about the tongue.
James 3:2-4:1
if anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. 3 Indeed, we put bits in horses' mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. 4 Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. 5 Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. 7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. 8 But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. 11 Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? 12 Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring can yield both salt water and fresh.
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. 15 This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. 16 For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. 18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

TONGUE
The fool's "speech" is unreliable Ps 5:9, deceitful Ps 109:2; 120:2-3; Prov 6:17, boastful Ps 140:11, flattering Prov 26:28, slanderous Ps 15:3, and subversive Prov 10:31. The "tongue" of the righteous man heals Prov 15:4. While the "tongue" may be as sharp as sword Ps 57:4, it is a means of giving life to the righteous and death to the wicked: "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof" Prov 18:21; cf. 21:23; 25:15.
~~~ So let us think before we speak. Are our words pleasing to God? Are they an encouragememt to others? Are they honoring our Spouses and children?
Lord, May I show the same mercy to others as you have shown to me....

watch what we say!
so that we can become all things to all people in order to lead them to Christ!
I am teaching my children to watch the things they say too, and how to find something about someone & say something nice about that person, or to find something to compliment them on. Children can be so hurtful these days :( I wish more parents would take the time to talk to their kids about stuff like that... kids can be so cruel!... My son came home crying from CHURCH of all places because some girl called him a "dummy" :-( It just broke my heart to pieces!
