THOUGHT OF THE DAY: Listen up! The Arabs have an old proverb that goes like this:The sword wounds the body, but words wound the soul. It’s true, you know. Words can wound. Unkind words…abusive words can really hurt. Sometimes they can hurt for a very long time. If you take a minute to think about it, you can probably remember something someone said to you a long time ago that hurt your feelings. Does it still hurt to think about it?
There are a lot of people who look just fine on the outside, but inside they’ve been wounded by unkind words. So how do we heal the wounds? Talk to someone and share your feelings. Then remember what John Heywood said: It hurteth not the tongue to give pleasant words. Today, let’s heal some wounds. Be especially aware of how you speak to others, and give away a few kind words.
DONATIONS: Support Magdelena, Jailyn, Carolyne, Alianys, and Sharith by taking an ornament off the tree on the second floor lobby, buying an item on the list to donate, and dropping off your donation under the tree. This fundraiser benefits New Bethany Ministries, which in turn helps families in our community. Please help these students’ leadership project!
