Kind Words Like Honey

Today I am joining Lisa-Jo and friends for Five Minute Friday.

This is where we come together writing 
for 5 minutes without editing or overthinking.

I love this community.

Check out what everyone's is sharing on the word OPPORTUNITY here.




I was thinking today just how powerful our words are.
They can build a person up or tear them down.
There are opportunities every day to speak a kind word.
That one word could change a person's day.

A word shared to let someone know you see them.
To let them know they aren't alone.
To let them know they matter.
To let them know how very much they are loved.

I don't want to miss a single opportunity to speak that word.
To give the gift of encouragement.
To speak life into another life.
I want to be more intentional about my words.

I want to take that moment to tell my sons how proud I am
 of them and how blessed I am to be their momma.
I want to tell my husband often how much I appreciate all 
he does leading and loving our family.
I want to send a note to that friend who I know is hurting 
and make that phone call to one I haven't talked to in way too long.
I want to encourage that sweet little one
asking who this Jesus is that I keep talking about.
I want to encourage the mom juggling 
her three children as they come into the grocery store.

I don't want to miss a single opportunity to give the gift of encouragement.
Lord...open my eyes.

Kind words are like honey—
sweet to the soul.
Proverbs 16:24
