intentions

Our lives aren’t a reflection of our intentions, they are a collection of our choices

words

Our words carry power.

There are days that I live in this and get this right. I breathe life into my kids. I build up my husband. I am life-giving to my friends.

Then there are times that I take this truth for granted. I run down my kids. I forget how fragile their hearts are. I throw darts at Jody with my words. I spread evil with the words I say to my friends.

Our words matter. Our words have weight. Our words create or our words tear down.
I see it in the face of my kids. I see it as I talk to my husband. I feel it as I am on the receiving end of potent words. I usually notice this truth after it is too late.

Why are we so careless with our words?

We often forget their power…we take for granted their influence…we overlook their potential.

We encounter so many words and we say so many words we don’t realize how critical they can be in the lives and hearts of those we love most.

Words carry life:
I love you
I’m proud of you
I believe in you
I choose you
I forgive you
I’m sorry
You are special
You look beautiful
Thank you
I see potential in you
I appreciate you
You have what it takes

Maybe it is a friend; maybe it’s your spouse; maybe it’s your kids; maybe a parent or a sibling…

Who needs you to breath life into their soul today with your words?

“The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” Proverbs 18:21

It won’t take much time, and it won’t cost you any money. But the moment you’ll create will be priceless.

Will you breath life into those you love the most?
