Pleasant words are like a honeycomb. Sweetness to the soul and health to the body. Proverbs 16;24
How careful we must be that we do not accidently DROP into someone else’s life words that may have long-term consequences.
Last week a 1kg tub of yoghurt slipped from my grasp. I thanked God it fell onto the bench and not the floor.
Char-Lee was saddened {she delights in cleaning from the floor. That much yoghurt would not have been good for her) and I found it easier to clean up.
How careful we should be that in anger or frustration we do not drop into the atmosphere words that maybe are not intended to harm but linger because they are beyond our reach to ‘clean up’.
How many children remember being told by an adult. How can you be so clumsy?. You’re stupid?
Thank God in His Word we are told time and time again as His blood-purchased Children. though not yet perfect, we are being transformed into HIS likeness.
His words are indeed like honeycomb. We are unconditionally loved and valued by our Father in Heaven.
I still love yoghurt.
Stand fast inChrist Beloved and find beauty on this Lord’s day.
Blessings and abundant love.

About Faye
I m a wife, mother and grandmother. I have always enjoyed writing even from an early age. My book Beyond the Ashes has been written as a labour of love. All the characters are real to me and their story needed to be told. As a Christian my desire is to write General Fiction stories about real people but Hope and a desire for 'better' will always be part of the journey. I have had several short stories published over the years and moderate success in writing competitions.
I realized as I was thinking today (30/01/15) that perhaps I should add here that I have had life experiences of many valley times but also many mountain top experiences. I can understand and be beside anyone who finds their life in tatters because I have 'been' there. Of course as I have got older as well there have been the added sorrows of losing not only older family members but also one by one finding the dearest of friends and the ones of greatest support and care also dying. On the site of rich mountains has been my certainty of the value of marriage and how grateful I am that after loss and sadness I made a happy and long-lasting marriage commitment. The one who was my best friend back then is still my best friend 45 years later. Beyond the Ashes touches upon the POWER of LOVE when folk can forget about their own personal 'feelings' and reach out in LOVE to a desperate and broken person.
