All you have to do is turn on any news channel to find that there are plenty of things to worry about. Or, you can just watch any kind of daytime talk and see that there are plenty of things to worry about. Well, that's what folks want you to think.
We try not to watch too much news around the house because all they want to do is tell you the bad things. I am not naive enough to believe that everything is good, it most certainly is not, but, I also believe there are some good things in this world. As a matter of fact, I have seen folks doing really nice things for others just today. Yet, there seems to be such a drive to bring others down.
Today's word is Proverbs 12:25, NIV, which reads, "Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up."
There enough bad stuff going on in this world. And, there are folks that are going through things that we will never know about. Plus, we should be nicer to folks than we should have to be. It is amazing how much a kind word can ease a troubled mind and aching heart.
Next time you hear someone trying to bring everyone down, offer up a kind word. You might just be surprised how much your words can change someone's day. Oh, by the way, stay away from daytime talk - the only kind word on any of those shows is, "Goodbye".
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
