Choosing Words Carefully!

This week in the Proverbs class we're looking at what comes out of our mouths.  Not only does WHAT we say matter, but HOW we say it.  As James in the NT mentions (James 3:3-12), words can start fires like a rudder can turn a ship.  But, as Proverbs 15:1,2 state, we are wise to craft our statements and corrections and conversations in a way that helps, not hurts relationships.  This can apply even to hard topics and correction.  We can be gentle and sensitive rather than harsh, blunt and hurtful.  We can 'adorn' our words so that we build up, not tear down!
