On Words.

Good Morning! I began my day with a wonderful child who had ended his day before writing.
Last night our family time was enjoyed watching DVD's of the Old Series "The Walton's". We have over the years collected several of the yearly series. If you know the old T.V. show you may remember it is based as the memories of an author. John Boy Walton, his family held values and character with education a high priority.
They held fast the amazing power of the word, spoken and written. It was understood that there was power; weather the words themselves were understood or not.

Today I am impressed as my children are both pretending to be like John Boy Walton. They are playing with the written word. I teach my kids that there is the power of life or death is the words we speak. That within our tongue we have the power to express Life or Death. I have also understood how it can be turned and twisted and become a force that the speaker may not have intended.
We as writers we have a great responsibility to use our power wisely. We all have the responsibility to use our spoken word to give life. I teach my children to speak as if kindness were the rule of your heart. Our hearts are all intertwined. May my words reflect my heart in such a way that I bring little or no shame to those around me. That I never be an embarrassment or hurtful intentionally or innocently.
Our words are also a mirror a reflection into our hearts. I often marvel at how very wounded we all must be to have so many scabs faking off and such oozing. How very much I desire my words to bring a balm a life of their own. I hope with all that I am that this be the gain to anything and all things I am.
My children are awaiting my words and touch .
Ya all have a great morning and today season your words from above for tomorrow you may have to eat them. Ha! :) If you do wind up gnawing on them I hope that they taste marvelous and that you can savor every bite.
