Sticks and stones may break bones, but words can break my heart …
A Principal at Junior High School that I worked at as a para/ teacher assistant quoted these words to the students one week in assembly shortly before stepping down from her position.
The words always resonated in my heart. I felt compassion and understood. I had always heard the prior version of “words will never harm me” early in elementary days and it never really quite healed the hurt. It was sorta like slapping a band-aid on the wound and sending me on my way…
Before we speak, what if we asked ourselves:
“What would Jesus say?”
Jesus said “I am the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE…”
Let’s Speak The WAY, The TRUTH and The LIFE in Jesus!
Sweetness in Jesus
Progressive in Jesus
Edifying in Jesus
Awareness in Jesus
Kindness in Jesus
Lovingly in Jesus
Inspiring in Jesus
Friendly in Jesus
Encouraging in Jesus
::Let’s Speak Life in Jesus Christ::
Proverbs 18:21
John 14:6
Proverbs 12:18
