My mouth - what a trouble maker! Sometimes I wish I could just put a piece of duct tape over it. Even better, I wish that I could capture my thoughts before they escape my lips.
I found this really cool idea on Pinterest. You take one word and study and meditate on it, write your thoughts, scriptures, sermon notes, and quotes about that one word for the year. This is perfect for me, because I know what my word will be - "tongue."
I have struggled with my mouth all my life and even though I am a baptized, bible believing Christian, out of my mouth comes curses, sarcasm, hateful words, gossip, lying...hard to believe that a "Christian" has that problem, isn't it? Thankfully, I recognize this weakness in myself.
But maybe, just maybe this year, instead of taking baby steps, I can make real improvement in the way that I think and the way that I speak.
If you want to try this for yourself, visit forthefamily.org; all the credit goes to them.
