Something heavy on my heart are the power of words. With my job, too often I see kids walk through our doors beat up from the words and actions of adults in their life. Kids come in with heads hung low or hiding deep wounds made by someone’s tongue.
Choose your words wisely. Your words can either help someone or hinder them. The same can be said about yourself.
The words one hears; the words spoken over someone, to someone, and about someone all become a part of the individual who is being spoken to. If these words are damaging, unfortunately it becomes a part of them.
Parents and family members, if you are trash talking another person that is related to your children, keep in mind that you are hurting your children. Your temporary pleasure of acting out in anger is not worth the abuse on your children’s heart and soul.
Be kind.
Speak kindly.
Choose to love. Stop the words of hate from exiting your mouth.
Be better.
Do better.
You were made to live in a way that helps and blesses others, especially your children, who are here to carry the legacy you leave behind.
What will your legacy be?
