August 3rd Daily Reflection

Today's devotion appears to have been written with me in mind. How true and poignant reminder of the power of our words and how our carelessness causes unecessary pain. I have countless examples of this in my life. Fortunately, I have countless examples of when my words have brighten someone's day, provided them the encouragement they needed and inspired them to do things they didn't believe they could do. The sentence that really speaks to me comes from James 1:19 - My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. A timely reminder as I embark on a journey of inspiration of others.
