8/8/12 My breath prayer for the day comes from Ephesians 4:29, "Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only what is useful for building up, as there is need, so that your words may give grace to those who hear." I am very aware of the power of words to heal or to wound. I am very good with words, both to hurt and to make better. One of the problems I have is how fast the words come out....before I realize their potential impact. One of the best lessons I learned in spiritual direction is to pause...especially to pause before replying back to someone. So much good or harm can come when we talk.
Faithfully,
Lynn
