Good Morning Girls - Intentionally FocusedSample

As I read these verses, I thought about what I typically talk about throughout my day as I interact with my kids and others. Certainly there are many opportunities each day to instruct, encourage, share facts or feelings with my words.

It makes me sad to think that there are also days when I use my words to be critical, to complain or to tear down instead of build up. Psalm 78 beautifully reminds us that our words should be used to tell the next generation about our powerful God, so that they will put their trust in Him!! We have our precious children in our home for just a short time. What will they remember from our words? A critical, negative spirit, or “the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, His power, and the wonders He has done”? Let’s not forget that what is on our lips can make a difference for eternity!
