Hello :) and welcome...to my world...
On my mind today...
On my mind today...
I am a firm believer in using your platform....
we have indeed all been given one...
Apart from the obvious...the first that comes to mind are...
teachers...and here i have seen it firsthand ...
how a caring christian teacher will take her faith and incorporate it into the business of teaching ...
I LOVE IT !! because 'they' r my backup ...reinforcing what i have already taught...
i am grateful when my children hear the truth from others that i have no influence over...and they r quick to report to me when they hear something that deviates from what i have spoken of...

A beauty technician using her time to encourage, talk and teach... God things during her time spent doing someones nails... A friend loving another friend by providing a meal during troubled times... Prayers promised and then truly said...for strength and courage for another weary worried traveler on this journey...
A sms...bbm...e-mail... to the right person at the right moment can make all the difference...
What are these things ... feelings, thoughts, formed into words and 'spoken'...
Our words r SO powerful...it's actually like a super-power we all already possess ...
and if u think of it like that...
then what r u using your 'words' for...
good...?
or bad...?
I do believe anyone anywhere can be a blessing to another...with only words...
But we r only human and sometimes we 'drop the ball' so to speak :(
Take me for example...just this morning...i could have told the grade 1 boy who came running up to give me a big hug... that Jesus loves him...or to work hard or be a good boy in class and be a good friend...when i returned his hug...
i didn't...i only thought about it as i watched him run off to his class...
today i didn't... but next time i will...!!!
It's too easy to admonish bickering kids to 'be nice' or 'use your friendly words'
and then u expect nothing less than total compliance...?
do u use your nice and friendly words with your partner or your sister or at work or with the car-guard and the perpetually unfriendly lady at the post office that ticks u off so bad that u have steam coming from your ears...and don't even get me started on road-rage *guilty again* i know i don't always do what's right...sadly...
but for the most part i do try...
there is always room for improvement :)
I am becoming...
but one thing i have always been is an "ENCOURAGER"
i forgot that for a while...
but
Someone i don't know... reminded me recently...
with just a few words and a question on her blog...
thanks :)

Did u know that to say 1 negative critical thing to a child...is so harmful...
u have to say 10 positive things to undo the damage...
