Quote of the Day ~ Video of the Day ~ Scripture of the Day ~ Take time to think before you speak : ) 02/02/2012

“He gossips habitually; he lacks the common wisdom to

keep still that deadly enemy of man, his own tongue”

: o ) Mark Twain

Think before you speak; how often have you heard this gem growing up? Plenty of times I am sure.

Yet time and time again we insert a word or conversation that we regret or at the very least causes more harm than good.

Everything we do and say should have powers to help or heal or at the very least do no harm.

When we reach out with our words we don't know how much hurt they can cause, until its to late.

Words of course can also heal, help and uplift.  The power of the spoken word has positive and not so positive aspects.

So the next time you want to speak and perhaps blurt something out ask your self these questions:

What harm could these words cause another?

Does this statement share gossip or does it share good news?

Will I in any way regret the words I am about to say?

If you can take the time to practice these 3 questions then maybe you can make the time to not cause harm or discomfort.

Just saying and as always sharing and caring and sending you a smile for today : )

Quote of the day ~ Video of the Day ~ Scripture of the Day ~ What eats you? : ) 01/23/12

Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from the inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves.

Forgive, Edward. Forgive...no one is born with anger. And when we die, the soul is freed of it. But now, here, in order to move on, you must understand why you felt what you did, and why you no longer need to feel it.'

She touched his hand.

'You need to forgive your father.'

: o ) Mitch Albom,

The Five People You Meet in Heaven

pages 141-142



Great book and movie of the same title. How true this dialogue. Hate has more of a curved blade than we think. Often when we do hate another person they don't know it, and if they do know it they don't even care.

What a waste of emotion. What a serious misfortune that so many make. To allow hatred to eat away at your spirit. To let hate waste so much love, so much creative energy. For what and for who? So sad.

My friends think about yourself before you hate another person.

Take time to really think about your wasted seconds, minutes and hours that you waste when you throw out hate into the world. Your world is indeed wasted.

Stop and let go and move on ..... Move forward and let the hate slip away like the wind blows away the leaves, or the clouds go drifting by the wind from above.

Some smiles for you and may your week be special : )

We Stop Hate



Scripture of the Day

If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

--1 John 4:20

Have a blessed day everyone :)
