Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
Proverbs 16:24
I've always said that whoever coined the saying, "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt" should've had their head examined.
Life is full of stones and those stones have a ripple effect for better or for worse.
All to often, especially in world of social media, we hurl stones of hatred, bitterness, anger, and prejudice. I was nearly brought to tears as I watched Kathie Lee Gifford's moving tribute to her late husband Frank Gifford who passed away suddenly only one week ago. One valuable life lesson that Frank Gifford left to their children Cassidy and Cody and one that we can all learn from was to pick up a stone and see how far and how well they could hurl it.
Imagine the ripple effect we could create if we chose to hurl stones on love, patience, compassion, kindness, and peace....
