That says it all, Nancy :)
ReplyDeleteIt helps me, Mary. Such a simple way to remember!
DeleteThanks....
Dang! Shooting straight from the hip. I like it. I need it!
ReplyDeleteIt does do that, doesn't it, Patty? :) Thanks!
DeleteThanks, Colleen!
ReplyDeleteThat is such great advice..sounds easy enough...but I think it's quite a challenge for most of us. It is far too easy to continue talking about others and slip over that boundary line between innocent "chatting" and critical gossip...we might not deliberately mean for it to happen but it often does!
ReplyDeleteExactly, Trish. This one sentence is so easy to remember and so hard to do. :)
DeleteThis beautiful advice underscores our need to lovingly gaze upon the face of Jesus in every person.
ReplyDeleteI like that reminder, Lora, to gaze upon His face in everyone. Thank you.
DeleteSeems like it should be so simple and easy, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteYes, it sounds so simple. And it can be so tough to do......
DeleteVery true. This has been a topic in my reality as of late. It truly is not the things that go in that defile... Words can be so damaging.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this thought and beautiful image! :)
Thank you, Kristen!
