Encouraging Words

Words mean so much to me.  I love to write them. I love to read them.  I love to speak them.  But most importantly, I love to share them with the people I love.

Today I was blessed twice, by two of my very best friends, with words of encouragement.  You know, the kind that come right out of left field?  What wonders they did for my heart.  Not long novels going on and on, just simple, heart felt thoughts, meant to encourage and uplift.  And it worked.  For a wordie like me, words hold weight.  When they come from people I treasure, it means more than I can express.

The Bible talks about how we have the power of life or death in our tongues (Proverbs 18:21).  I can surely say that today, life was spoken to me.

It makes me want to speak life to others, always.

How about you?

Amen sister! "Those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed" Proverbs 11:25. Love that verse you quoted too...desiring my tongue to be one that is known to speak life, to the big and the littles in my corner of the world. Love you!
