Proverbs 16:24
Kind words are like honey—
sweet to the soul and healthy for the body. (NLT)

—

Our middle granddaughter spent the night with us last night. We watched a few minutes of Winnie the Pooh before she exercised the privilege of turning off the television, brushing her teeth, and getting tucked into bed. Of course, there were a few other steps in there before slumber arrived with deep satisfaction.

Pooh loves his friends and loves his hunny. Notably, I do not recall Pooh ever uttering a discouraging word. He is written to exemplify this verse. Kind words are like honey. Not only are they tasty, but they are enriching as well.

Kind words are sweet to the soul. They make us feel better. They make us want to do better. They provide genuine smiles of a soft and tender nature.

Kind words make us feel stronger. They give us confidence for doing what needs to be done, and doing it with a song in our hearts.

Today is a good day to practice speaking kind words.

Kind words don’t often elicit loud laughter, but they do satisfy souls and comfort hearts. They linger long in memory. They make our pensive moments less stressful and more hopeful.

Here’s a good question to keep close at hand in every conversation and situation: What’s the kindest thing I can say or do in this moment?

Here’s a powerful resolution to employ today: Say the kind words and demonstrate them in every activity.

I will live the sweet and satisfying life kindness makes possible.

Our Father, renovate my heart and mind with your kindness. Replace the artwork as necessary. Rearrange the furniture. Redecorate my vocabulary. May others anticipate kindness from me in every encounter. Amen.

Daily D – Luke 1:76-79

Luke 1:76-79 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.
(NIV)

Daily D – John 20:24-28

John 20:24-28 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Daily D – John 18:10-11

John 18:10, 11 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Daily D – John 13:3-5

John 13:3-5 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
