Think before you speak

We are encouraged emphatically to be quiet, not speak unless it is "good" for the hearer. If only we would think before we speak, if we would ponder the right words, think of what would bring peace, grace, ann show love...but carelessly we spew out words that hurt, flippantly or intentionally really doesn't matter. Similarly, I remember a quote; " better to be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt". I am praying that the words I chose to use today and as long as I have breath will be edifying, glorifying, loving, and for the times when it hasn't been, please forgive me. I pray you can do the same, will do the same.
