Think before you speak....

I have tried to make this my new motto: Always think before you speak because words you can never take back! Words have the power to destroy just as much as the power to edify - however, I think the destroy part has a greater effect on the person than the actual uplifting part. Be wise, think before you speak!!!! Did you ever wonder why God gave us 1 month and 2 ears? Perhaps, it's because we should listen twice as much as we speak. How often do we truly pay attention to the power of our words and the effect they have on others?
