Day 5
Today, I will speak words that are only STRONG words, words that make these children feel strong. Grace words. Grace is the only non-toxic air.
Have you ever been there? You lose your temper, raise your voice and after you realize ... I blew it! I have. (more times that I care to admit!) This daily challenge is just that... a challenge. This has really become a daily prayer for me. Every morning, and throughout the day, I find myself praying, 'please, Lord! Please help me to have words of grace.'
I will admit, some days I blow it. Others are better. What words do I want ringing in my girls' ears when they go to bed? Words of grace. Words that encourage them and uplift them. How do we feel when someone snaps at us, or flies off the handle? If we were honest, we would say not very good. How different is that to our children?
May we all endeavour to speak words of grace today. Words that build up our little ones and point them to the Saviour ~ the giver of such great grace!
