Say The Right Thing~

Chello~

Proverbs 15:23 Everyone enjoys a fitting reply; it is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time!

I totally agree with this verse.

We've all been there--a place where we were at our wit's end. Didn't know how much more we could take. Didn't think we could handle one more thing going wrong, and then God sends an ambassador of peace and joy to lift our spirits and calm our soul.

Ambassadors of peace take on many forms.

The doctor who assures you that the medication is safe to take.

The friend who "just happened" to text you at a moment when you needed an encouraging word.

The neighbor who drops by with a cake for no good reason.

The elderly church lady who takes a moment to let you know she's been praying for you, and you suddenly realize why you've been so tranquil lately.

The spouse who senses a burden and takes out the trash--without being asked.

A chubby toddler who waddles up to you and says, "Wa wuv woo," for no good reason.

All of these fine folks were, in fact, steered to you by God so you could have a wonderful moment.

God sends these ambassadors to me on a daily basis. Everyday I receive encouraging words from you guys, or prayer requests. And yes, even a prayer request is a wonderful thing to ask for because it shows that (a) you want to pray, and (b) you welcomed me into your life with confidence and trust. I am always humbled by that--sometimes to the point of happy tears.

Let's purpose in our hearts to be always be ambassadors ourselves; I can personally assure you that you will wind up receiving more than you could ever give.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, It is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time. Thank You for all the awesome people you put in our lives. Keep us alert to the needs around us because we know that when we say the right thing, it will always come back to bless us. In Jesus' name, AMEN~
