My pastor read a statistic in church that I wanted to pass along to you today. The average person speaks between 25,000 and 50,000 words every single day. Every day! At the end of a week, that would end up being about a novel’s worth of words. What if someone was typing down every word you said today, and you could read them back to yourself? Would you find words that you’re proud of? Words spoken out of anger? Words you would take back if you could?
“Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. (James 1:18-20)”
This week, lets be aware of how easy it is to go through the motions with our words. Think before you speak, and ask God to help you choose your 25,000 words wisely!

Good words. Definitely something to keep in mind.

I left a comment when I purchased it, but I just wanted to say thank you for writing out and releasing the digital sheet music for "When I Say I Do." My wedding is in 12 days and I have been transcribing it myself so that I can record it and have it played during the unity candle at our wedding. It really was an answer to prayer and saved me a LOT of time. I'm so glad I decided to search for it again! :-)

That is something to keep in mind. I've been blogging and I went back and read through my blogs and caught myself off guard with some of the posts I had. They weren't horrible of course but I definitely didn't think twice before posting. I definitely need to think before I speak or type!

This was VERY timely indeed. Too bad I read it AFTER a moment of not choosing my words carefully. Daggnabbit! Wait, maybe I shouldn't have said that.

One of the comments above is spam and leads you to a website you probably don't want to visit.

A Sunday school teacher was telling her pupils the importance of making others glad. "Now, children," said she , "has anyone of you ever make someone else glad?"
"Please, teacher,"said a small boy,"I've make someone glad yesterday."
"Well done. Who was that?"
"My granny."
"Good boy. Now tell us how you made your grandmother glad."
"Please, teacher, I went to see her yesterday, and stayed with her three hours. Then I said to her, 'Granny, I'm going home,' and she said, 'Well, I'm glad'!"
