Author's Bio: I live in Hamler, Ohio and have been married for almost 35 years. I accepted Christ late in life, and each day He blesses me with, I shall thank Him for His gift to me. God did a radical change in me: I, like the woman who washed Christ's feet, had many sins, which are now covered by His blood. To God be the glory....I have 2 children, a boy and a girl, both of whom are school teachers. I have 5 beautiful grandchildren, 3 girls and 2 boys. I am so blessed that I am able to watch them while my children teach.
James 3:10 & 11. "Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?"
I am not like so and so.
And with a mischievous wink
Allow ourselves to go so low.
The Lord looks at the heart,
We look at what we see.
He knew this person from the start.
Just what He can and will be.
Before we judge another in haste
Remember, the Lord already knows
He will get rid of the waste.
A man does reap what he sows.
Jesus showed love to one and all
We need to look for the good
For this is not your call.
We need to love as we should.
The next time you think this way
Know someone may be saying of you
The very words that you say.
Show His love; in all you say and do.
James 3:2, 5, 6, 8, 9: "If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body…Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity…The tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison….Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God."
