Gracious words not only bring sweetness to those we encourage, but to our own souls as well.

Absolutely! And dear friend Margaret, to be truly honest, I have learned this the hard way…when my words have not been gracious. The price is high… the conviction, remorse… all of it. And even after confession to God and apology to others, those words are still out there. All we can do is leave it at the foot of the cross and go forward asking and trusting Him to help us do it better next time. And faithfully, HE does! He has even used these situations to strenghten friendships (after I thought I’d destroyed them)… He is so gracious, merciful and loving… I’m overwhelmed! 💕🎉💕🎉💕 May our words be gracious and sweet in the precious name of Jesus! 👍🏻🙏🏻😉
Yes, it is! And thank you Lee! You are always encouraging me as well…and many others I am sure!!! I like to give smiles away…. they generally come back to you and, of course, we still have more to give. Your last sentence made me smile huge! I may have to blog about that! 😂😄👍🏻 Have a blessed day! 🎉
Ain’t that the truth Dori?
It’s fun to encourage people. And it’s fun to grin a lot. 😃 Conjuring up strife and debates just bring misery.
I know you do a lot to encourage others, and I’m grateful for all the encouragement that you have installed upon me.
Who needs encouragement? Everybody.
The Lord loves us to pieces.

To both the person saying the gracious words as well as the one receiving them 🙂
