“Well, I come from a family that LOVES to talk..Amen..we talk about everything..and when we get together as a family..and I mean everyone..we talk and talk all at once..lol..and the thing about it all..is that we all understand one another..even if we don’t finish our conversations..we know what the other person is going to say..and were so good we even finish each others sentences..lol..it’s funny because not every family is this way..so when others get around my family they’ll say how do you guys know what ya’ll are saying?..and I’m like well I’m not sure..but we have been this way our whole life..each of us..for I have been truly blessed with one amazing family..my grandparents..my uncles, aunts, cousins, sisters, nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews..literally my family is great..and I know everyone knows there family is awesome..but I think mine is incredible..I love them so much..nothing like family..not ever..Amen..but as well with all of the talking that were all used too doing..myself included if anyone knows Mandi..I love to talk..and I love to talk to everyone..no one is ever a stranger with me..I just love people..but again I get that from my family..they are this way..they as well love people..and they love talking and helping people..but sometimes when you talk and talk a lot you say things and you keep saying things..that you shouldn’t be saying..and over the years in my life I have learned that just because I think something doesn’t necessarily mean that I need to say it!..Amen..because I have learned in my life that words are so very powerful..they can tear down or build up quicker than anything..and I mean fast..it can change the whole atmosphere in which we live..so in the years of my life as I say I weigh my words to the best of my ability..and I don’t just spew out words from my lips..I think about what it is that I am saying before I say it..but again sometimes I get myself into trouble well not trouble per-say..but in trouble with the Lord..because He corrects me ever so fast when I say something that isn’t right..or isn’t nice or kind..and then I feel terrible..Amen!”

“But I am going to take us to the scripture here and let us all hear what the word of the Lord says to us about this issue..Amen..for it says, “Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire it kindles?..and the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. For every kind of beasts, birds, the things in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed of mankind..But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison..we bless God, our Father; and we curse men, which are made after the similitude of God..for you see out of the same mouth proceeds blessings and cursings..and guys these things ought not be..for does a fountain send forth at the same time sweet water and bitter water?..or can the fig tree, bear olive berries? or even a vine, figs?.even so neither can a fountain yield salt water and fresh water at the same time..James 3:5-12..it goes on to saying in the book of Philippians..”Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think and speak on these things..Philippians 4:6-9..Amen..so again our words they do cut right down to someones soul..and it does it fast depending all upon what it is that we are saying..but I do hope and pray that each of us speak kindly and think about the things we say to others before we say anything..because as well our mouths and the things we speak represent us and whats in our hearts..Luke 6:45..and really it shows how much more growth needs to take place in our own lives..so today think about your words before you just throw them out there so to speak..Amen..and once again living well and living well with others..begins with you and I and all from how we choose to live our lives..and how we choose to care and love others..shining the fruit of the Lord in our lives..as we go about our day..loving all to the best of our ability..being kind, being nice, and always remembering that golden rule that says do unto others as you would have for them to do too you..Amen..or in this case speak unto others as you would want for them too speak unto you..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤
