may soon pass away
and forgotten be,
but when expressed
in love and kindness
are like beautiful flowers,
and even though
they fade and die
from conscious memory,
Their fragrance lives on
embedded in the
deeper mind -
forever.
Solomon, "are like
golden apples in silver settings"
(Proverbs 25:11,
Paraphrase).
have to take your
heart away." These words are from one of
my favorite songs
sung by the Beetles. Obviously, words
can have a powerful
effect either for good or for bad...for
healing or for
hurting...for encouraging or
discouraging ... for making
others laugh or cry.
With words, we can inspire people and
even nations to noble
deeds of courage, such as the words Sir
Winston Churchill
broadcast to spur the British people on

she was being bombarded by Germany's
relentless air raid
attacks. Forty-seven of her warships had
been sunk. The
Royal Air Force had lost forty per cent

strength. Britain was on the brink of
famine and was facing
imminent invasion.
Here's what Churchill said in this hour
of great need: "We
shall defend our island whatever the
cost may be; we shall
fight on the beaches; we shall fight in
the fields; we
shall fight in the streets; and we shall
fight in the
hills. We shall never surrender."¹
Or with people such as the Hitlers and
the Saddam Husseins
of the world, words can be used to
motivate people to
dastardly deeds of treachery, murder,
slaughter, and
relentless acts of terrorism.
Most of us, of course, will never be in
a position to move
multitudes of people, but every single
one of us is in a
position to make a big difference in the
life of at least
one person--and in realty, the lives of
many people.
Life is filled with plenty of negatives,
set-backs, unkind
and hurtful words. And so we all need
words of
encouragement. Let's not fail to give
such a word to at
least one person every day whether they
be young or old ...
