The weekend has finally arrived. I am heading down to Nampa as soon as I leave work this afternoon. The weather forecast states it is supposed to rain this weekend, but I am really hoping that it will just be cloudy with no rain until I am back home safe again at the end of the weekend. It has been a fun adventure trying to decide what clothes to pack to take on my trip. Especially since my boyfriend doesn't want to tell me exactly what we are planning on doing. So some clothes packed for outside, some for going out to dinner and some just because it is supposed to be cold. Does anyone else ever have the issue of trying to decide whether to pack for cold weather or warm weather; nice clothes or just cute clothes? I always end up packing for a week when I am really only going for two days so I am trying to learn to only pack for two days with maybe a couple extra outfits instead of a week's worth of outfits for two days. Well, back to work so I can finish my day so I can leave town :)
Growing up, were you ever told, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?" I remember being taught this when I was pretty young. Our words matter and if we can't say something nice, it's better not to say anything. In today's world, especially with social media, it seems that a lot of people have forgotten this message or maybe were never taught it to begin with. Another childhood saying was "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me." Unfortunately, this saying is not true either. Words can cause lasting damage that is very difficult to overcome. We need to be mindful when we are speaking that our words are used to encourage and uplift one another and not used to destroy each other. There is a scripture verse that I have been meditating on this week and it is listed below. It states that our conversation needs to be seasoned with salt, but also full of grace so that we know how to answer ...
