Kind Words Have the Power to Heal

Oh how powerful words can be . . . for good or bad!  In a split second we can empower and help others through our words, but if we aren't careful, we can hurt them as well.

An easy way we can guard our words is to THINK before we speak by asking these simple questions:  

Is it . . . Truthful? Helpful? Inspiring? Necessary? Kind?

  And, of course, that old saying, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
