Words

You know growing up i heard people say all the time “sticks and stones my break my bones but words can never hurt me”

However more often than not Words are the thing that hurts us the most, are the thing that sticks with us more than anything else.

Today Hudson and I went to Target, we needed out of the apartment and needed food.

Not once, not twice but three times I heard someone say “try to stay away from them, you might catch what he has”

I have heard people tell me to make him wear a hat, that it was vaccines I gave him that caused his cancer, that its my fault for having no prenatal care, there are so many things I have been told, or things i hear people say when we walk by.

How can words never hurt when people judge my son just because of how he looks? Or judge me because of him?

And I would bet money on the fact I am not they only one who has been told these things

Words hold so much weight, words are how we communicate so of course they would hurt.

Sometimes our words hurt and we don’t even know they do.

James 3:9 says “with the younger we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness.”

God gives us free choice and of course with that we have our own thoughts.

No one is innocent, we all have said things we regret, but as a Christian we need watch our words and be there for those who have been upset because of our words.
