"My peoples" (as Caroline would say) and I run in a fairly tight little circle. Our Sunday School class is a pretty close little group and then I am blessed enough to add a sister and brother in law in the mix. I have been learning a lot lately about the importance of words but also the intent behind the words. I ran across the verse/idea below on one of my favorite blogs today and am thinking that I need to be practicing this more often. I think I may be talking a lot less! :-)
"My wise friend Holly taught me years ago to put the ugly and unkind things through the Phillipians 4:8 test:
Is it true?
Noble?
Reputable?
Authentic?
Compelling?
Gracious?
The best, not the worst?
Beautiful, not the ugly?
Because these are the things God tells us to dwell on."
