The power of (a mom’s) words

By Genny
Monday, February 20th, 2012

Words.

They can create a sense of belonging…

They can remind us of priorities…

They can encourage…

They can calm…

They can soothe…

They can increase faith…

And they can inspire...

These are just some of the words in our house (that help me remember how important words are!).

    Love them all!  Words are so powerful, aren’t they?  They have the ability to build up, to tear down, to breathe hope and life, or discouragement and death.
