Thanks Nick. I came across this
written by a 13-year old girl named Jennifer Lea Martin. Happy Memorial Day weekend, Steve
"Because I love and fear the Lord and want to please Him,
Because I love and care for the people around me,
I promise from this day forth to guard my speech,
To not gossip, flatter, or manipulate my words;
But to speak in a loving, gentle and kind way,
A way which is pleasing to God. I ask the Lord for
Help to keep me on this path of life-giving speech.
But when I fall, I shall ask forgiveness and continue
To pursue the pure, noble and wise words
That God Has enabled me to use for His glory."
"Let your speech be always with grace." Colossians 4:6
