4 The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit
Oh wow I almost forgot. First of all I want to give a shout out to a Paratransit driver, Danielle. Girl thank you for the ride home and I'm glad you appreciated the fast directions I gave you! I pray you will be encouraged by my writngs!
Then, yesterday Brandice and I went to Mariano's. We stopped in to get some ice cream. Keisha let me try a whole bunch of flavors and I finally got it down to mint chocolate chip and pistachio! LOL
Then the weirdest thing happened. There was this lady next to me that just started crying. And she was wearing sunglasses. Anyway so Brandice pointed her out to me and Keisha. Then the lady who was crying came by me and said that I reminded her of her sister who passed away this. I'm thinking probably because I'm in a wheelchair. I don't think I look White. Then, she chatted with us and later wanting to pray for us. Zoe and Keisha, I pray that you guys will be encouraged by the writings! And, Zoe thank you again for the prayer!
Today I'm going to write about words. Words can totally change a person's life for the better or the worse. My Auntie Vicky shared some words with me that made me want to embrace Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and savior. To flip the script we look at Melissa Jenkins. 13 year old Melissa was one of the people I just remembered who died in the Columbine massacre. The killer's words to her was, " do you believe in Jesus Christ?" She answered, "you know I do!" The killer said"then go be with him.'" Because of her answer she was shot and died.
See what I mean when I say words can change a person's life for the good or the bad. Of course I'm all for the good! I'm pretty sure Jesus is also for the good!
I guess what I have to say next is just make sure you do this. And, that is to fill your mind with good thoughts. I'm thinking have some Bible verses in your mind ready to spit out when you need it. I'm thinking think of only good things of certain people the good things that they do not the bad things. I'm thinking fill your mind with the presence of Jesus Christ! I'm thinking let the other people that see you, see that there is something different in the way you present yourselves. People will see something different about the way you talk and they will see something different with the words you use. They will see Jesus Christ in you!
Encouraging thought of the day:
"Let's not want to say a word unless it points the world back to Jesus"
