And, you, too

If you know me, toy know that I have a lot of sayings. A LOT. Some are good, some are corny, some are just silly. One of my sayings, though, is, "Be nicer to folks than you have to be; you never know what someone is going through."

Sort of following along yesterday's thought, there are lots of hurting people that need a kind word. As my mother taught me as a child, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."

Today's word is Proverbs 12:25, NLT, which reads, "Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up."

Worry is one of those weights that were often carry that does more harm than we will ever realize: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Yet, we can't seem to stop ourselves from doing it, which causes even more worry. And, everyone is probably worried or anxious about something, everyone. What can we do?

Well, don't add fuel to the fire. Try to lift someone up, try to ease anxiety. If you get the chance, and you just may, give someone an encouraging word. It just may cheer them up, and you, too.

Be Blessed,
