They have power that seems to be
beyond natural causes
beyond natural causes
as if they were some angel's song
that had lost its way
and come to earth.
Frederick William Faber
When I was going through a divorce, I dreaded running into old friends that I had grown up with. Sure enough, I ran into my former neighbor, Janice, who was still happily married to her childhood sweetheart. What would she think of me?
She asked no questions and gave no advice. She simply said, "We love you."
Kind words are like honey—
sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.
Proverbs 16:24 NLT

I love this Faber quote! I am putting it our church prayer line tonight.
That was so nice of your neighbor to say those three simple, but very special, words to you when you were going through a difficult time. Thank you for sharing your heart, Karen. What a glorious sky this is on your Header. I love all the Purple swirling around in it. : )

A good reminder to always show kindness and compassion. xoxo
This is so true....
Kindness is so important💜. Thanks for this reminder. Enjoy your evening dear Karen. Hugs
The Bible has so much to say about our words. I cringe when I remember some of the words I have spoken in the past. I love that quote.
(((HUGS))). Yes, kind words soothe the sorrowing and troubled soul. I know how much they have meant to me over the years during difficult times. I try to be aware of those who are grieving for whatever reason and pray that God will give me the right words to say at the right time. I tend to speak first and think after all too often, and I have to pray that God will set a guard over my mouth. This is a good reminder today. Love to you today, dear friend.
