Tip of the Day 1/5/12

I love living in a part of the country where people leave their Christmas lights up longer. They look so pretty in the winter evenings. As you begin to take yours down to store for another year take the time to clean them, repair them, wash the linens, etc. This will help preserve the items and make for a pleasant experience when you unpack them next Christmas. Take your time and enjoy.

Word for today, Speech: The tongue can be a deadly weapon. We can apologize, but the sting of an unkind word remains. On the other hand our speech can be seasoned with grace and speak words of comfort. Pause before speaking and test everything you say. "Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. this should not be so. Put off anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language. Put a guard over my lips."
