Good morning!
The very detailed and strong examples that were given this morning to show the power our tongues and speech have in our lives woke me up this morning - almost literally! :) There is a distinct strength given to every word we let escape past our lips. That strength can be used for good or evil, to deceive or uplift, to change a situation ever so slightly - or magnificently!
Today, I ask God to pilot my tongue, to set a guard over my mouth. I ask Him to help all my speech today to honor him and that I would think through the thoughts in my heart before letting it all fall out in possible disarray. Like Paula said yesterday, I pray that my words would be organized, and also edifying to those that hear them.
I pray the same for you girls today also - let's be women quick to listen, and slow to speak. And when we do speak, speak words of life and loving encouragement! It's better to say nothing than to say the wrong thing.
Love you all, and God bless your Tuesday!! :)

That is so true "it's better to say nothing than to say the wrong thing." In many situations, this can be the most loving thing. Often, I think I need to fill the space or respond in some way. But there are times when saying nothing and just smiling or responding with, "hmmm" can be more God-pleasing than trying to muster a reply or throwing something out without thinking first.
