WORDS.... WATCH IT!

--- Watch Your Tongue Before You Speak Words have power — more than we often realize. They can soothe or scar, build or break, heal or harm. Once spoken, they cannot be taken back, no matter how much we regret them later. Many times, we let emotions control our tongue. Anger makes us spit fire, frustration makes us sound harsh, and ego often pushes us to say things we don’t mean. But the truth is, even if the moment passes, the impact of those words may remain in someone’s heart forever. A thoughtless phrase can break trust. A sharp reply can hurt a loved one. A careless comment can crush someone’s confidence. But on the other side, a gentle word can bring comfort, a kind tone can inspire hope, and a sincere compliment can change someone’s day. That’s why it’s said — think before you speak. Pause. Reflect. Ask yourself: Will my words heal or hurt? Will they spread light or darkness? Do they carry respect, or do they carry regret? Silence is always better than hurtful speech. Not every thought needs to be spoken, but every word that leaves your lips should carry kindness and truth. Because the tongue has no bones, yet it can shatter the strongest hearts. And it can also, with the same ease, mend broken spirits. Choose wisely — for your words are the legacy you leave in someone’s soul. ---
