I am a quiet woman growing each day in the LORD. Married to Kenneth Gill, we have no children, and live in Portland, Texas, USA (across the bay from Corpus Christi). I am a retired elementary school teacher, and now tutor primary-aged children who are falling behind in those early years of school. Visit my blog or follow my social media!
What a great reminder. I love the toothpaste example to show the reality of how words cannot be retrieved. It is so easy to let thoughtless comments slip out, or to write assumptions or judgments without considering the impact. We forget the power of the tongue. Thank you for sharing this!
great post linda:) love the story! great illustration for sure. nice to see you. i’ve been pokey this summer…not producing much. on vacation right now, but plan to get back in the saddle soon.
Wonderful advice! I’ve heard a semblance of this story before and it always sticks with me. Thanks for the reminder today!
I love that toothpaste tube story! Such a great illustration of an important truth.
This is an awesome way to teach a child, Linda! I agree, words typed are no different. In fact, sometimes I think typed or texted words can be more easily misconstrued and may require even more careful placement. I am so thankful for this message today, friend. Blessings!
A wonderful faith filled post. Terrific.way to teach a child, (and adults for that matter) about the weight our words can have,.either with love or anger. Thank you for reminding me the impact our words can have on someone else, and that prayer can guide us in the right direction.
