Here's just a little thought from me to you. I was sitting here kind of feeling like "poops" (thanks for the word, Michelle). Feeling kind of sad. And someone within my little blogging family said something that made me feel better. And it occurred to me what power we have to uplift those around us. The power of a simple word or phrase, whether written in a blog or spoken face-to-face, can do so much to build each other up. And because of that power, we have a great responsibility to use it to do good, rather than the thoughtless words that can deflate instead of inspire.
So, thank you to my blogging friends who daily inflate me, so to speak, with your words!
Random thoughts of a girl who used to try to fit in the box. Then I realized that boxes are stupid. Except this box, the one above. It's really pretty.
Amen! It may be a little thought, but a powerful one. Thank you so much for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteThat is so very true.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely thought. Thank you for sharing and inflating, so to speak, us.

ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more.. One of the reasons I love coming to your blog so often.. Thank YOU.. ;)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. I never bought into that old saying about how sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me. Yes, words CAN hurt ... and they can also heal and spread joy. You're right; we have a responsibility to pay attention to the power of our words. Great post.
ReplyDeleteWords are powerful, aren't they? I'm trying to use mine for good instead of evil!
ReplyDeleteVery true and very encouraging. I believe most of us are in this to be encouraging and positive.
