Proverbs 18:21 ESV Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits. . . Over the years this verse has continued to be a beacon sign over the door post of our house. So many times I have had to say I’m sorry for the intent of my tone or the motive of my words to loved ones. I’m way more selective about what I say and how I say it today. . I am so aware of the substance and culture that comes from what is said. . A home that is open and has in it a dynamic of honesty that consciously honors and prefers one another first and foremost is core to a healthy relationship. So when clarifying conversations are needed, we have grace to work things out in a clean way. . . #cleanconversations #loveprevails #honoroneanother #wordsmatter #speakwithlife #lifegivingwords #powerofthetongue #nosarcasm #57pearls #bastroptx (at Bastrop, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ0Hk7NjELS/?utm_medium=tumblr
