Drink Joy

If we keep our mouths speaking positive words during difficulties, though it may look to everyone else that our circumstance should make us miserable, we can drink joy from the fountain of our lips.

From the fruit of his words a man shall be satisfied with good...
--- Proverbs 12:14


My own reflection on this Thought:
* You left home early this morning. Angrily.
And the last word you said to your mom was,
" I find it harder to cope with you as you're getting older!"
Not a good choice of words though...

How many times in our life, we unintentionally choose some bad words and hurt our loved ones?
Maybe our parents are getting older so that they become more annoying. Or maybe our children become teenager now, so that they need more freedom and less of our attention. Being afraid of that, we become so protective by scolding them all the time...
Lots of possibilities...
We know that we need to talk most of the time in our life. It's not easy to pick wonderful words all the time, because we got our own stressful world.
But, let's do it! It's natural that sometimes we become impatient and get angry easily.
Let's start to talk with love and choose positive words. Being negative is easy, but the challenge is: could we be more positive today? (-fon-)
