Making Good Use of Your Words!

Hope everyone is having a great holiday! As 2009 draws to an end have you thought about how your words have affected people throughout the year.

One of my favorite quotes says:

"Words kill or words give life--They are either poison or fruit, which one do you choose?"

FABULOUS BROWN GIRLS as we enter into 2010 (not only a NEW year, but also a NEW DECADE) lets make sure we use our words in these kinds of ways.

• PRAISE -- This word literally means to commend. Try commending someone everyday. Thank them for what they are doing, have done, or are going to do.
  
• ENCOURAGE--As BROWN girls, we need to encourage each other daily by giving words of support. You never know what someone may or may not be going through so your encouraging words may be just what they need.
  
• COMPASSION--Be the one to speak confidence to someone who may be going through a difficult time

By doing these three things you are speaking LIFE into someone else!

Over time I have realized that negative energy is like a cancer.. if you are around someone who is always negative you begin to thing and behave that way as well. Instead of using your words to kill or as poison, always use them to give life to others as fruit.

You know the old saying However you want people to treat you, you need to treat people that way. Well, it is an old saying because it is the TRUTH!

So FBG's how did your words impact or affect someone else this year? Were they poisonous or were they fruit to others?
