Can you post a few verses about how the tongue/our words are a powerful weapon?

Our pastor literally just spoke about this yesterday! So it is a perfect time for you to ask this question because I have a lots notes on "taming the tongue"— that was the name of the sermon yesterday

When my husband was a youth pastor, we taught our youth Philippians 4:8 as the "Philippians Filter." Every thought that comes into your head should go through the "filter" of things listed in that verse.

Just a little reminder.

YOUR HEALTH COMES BEFORE EVERYTHING ELSE. 

Your physical and mental health is way more important than anything else in your life. 

Your health comes before school, before work, before seeing your friends, before spending time with your family. 

You shouldn’t have to sacrifice your health for other aspects in your life.

Your health comes before anything and everything else.

Well...I think that, for me, as a wife and mom, my health has to come second sometimes. There have been occasions when I have not been able to spend time with my family because I can't get out of bed. On that third day of being in bed and my daughter says, "Mom, we're all going to McDonald's and play on the playground. You can't come because you're sick. Dad said he'd take pics and send them to you." My husband and kids are extremely understanding of Lyme and how it affects me. But...pics of my kids playing just won't do. Sometimes you, at least I, have to push past how you feel so that you can be in the moment with your loved ones. Should you know your limits and rest when you know you need to? Absolutely. It's what you need to heal. But, I refuse to be left out of my family...and their memories. I want to participate in their lives. And somedays, that means that I have to push past it and let them know that I'm there for them. Again, just my personal experience and opinion.

10 Things To Know When Someone In Your Life Has Lyme

A blog post by Lymeless & Lovely

So someone you know is sick with Lyme disease. It could be a friend, a family member, a significant other or just an acquaintance. Whoever it is, you’ve got some questions.  Or maybe you don’t, but you want a better idea of what the heck is going on. This entry will hopefully offer some explanation, and can probably be applied to a variety of chronic illnesses.

1. Lyme disease is an invisible illness.

What does this mean? It means that when someone with Lyme is feeling absolutely horrible, they are likely looking no different on the outside than they do on one of their “really good days”. This disease (usually) doesn’t present itself with super obvious visible symptoms. Normally you won’t see a Lyme patient with their legs wrapped up in casts or with huge bleeding gashes on their bodies. Our symptoms tend to be more internal. Things like extreme fatigue/weakness, joint and muscle pain, dizziness, nausea, anxiety and brain fog aren’t necessarily easily detected just by looking at a person. It can be hard to understand how a person can be feeling so horrible when they look “fine”. Often times, they even seem to be acting fine! Which brings us to point number 2.

2. Lyme patients quickly become amazing actors
