Do You Have Anything Good to Say...

Proverbs 25:11King James Version (KJV)

11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.

Dear Friends,
Words have the power to heal and destroy. The Bible say this:
  • Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. - Proverbs 18:21
When we choose words that are uplifting, words that encourage and speak life to someone else we can have a tremendous impact on their day and life.  Imagine a child or teenager who only hears negative talk at home and the teacher in the classroom who provides positive reinforcement, "good job," "you have great potential!"  

I think about the times when walking through the grocery store or down the street and smiling and saying hello or good morning to people I pass.  Some are genuinely shocked, especially teenagers but most smile and speak back.

Taking the time to say something good means slowing down and paying attention. 

And as my grandmother use to say if you can't say anything good, don't say anything.

How about it. Do you have anything good to say?

To each of you reading the blog today, I want to say may the Lord bless an keep you. Thank you for taking the time to share your time with me here at Tysthatbind.

in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
