“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Tuesday; March 18, 2008

 

          It is easy to find a correlation between what we do and how we feel; but, one of the most powerful acts on our emotional nature comes from our mouths.  Often we note that what we say impacts how others feel; but, the truth of the matter is that what we say will dictate our own feelings.  While it might seem that our emotions fashion our words, it is equally true that our words impact our moods.  If what we say constantly is caustic and negative, it will breed bitterness in our lives; but, if we take the effort to center our discussion around kindness and encouragement, we are more apt to have harmony and better health.  In essence, choosing our words chooses our attitudes.

          Years ago a wise man noted, “Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.” (Proverbs 16:24).  Are we looking for a way to live a better and more fulfilling life?  It might begin with how we think; but, it will be reinforced by how we speak.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
