Wounder or Healer

Proverbs 15:4 Gentle words are a tree of life;A deceitful tongue crushes the spirit. 

So often people wait until life is over to say kind words. I might be considered a kook,but I want to be the kind of person who can tell people how much they mean to me now. Every day we see how short life really is, but I wonder do some people think about it only when someone dies? Today I want my words to heal. I can't number the days I have been so broken, that a kind word or deed may have been what kept me going. People don't always tell you when they are broken or crushed,some people hide it so well. I'd like to put out a challenge to anyone who may read this today.Will you be a wounder or a healer?  Tell someone other than your family just how much they mean to you, or say a kind word to them. Family is important and I love them all, but I tell my family how much I love them all the time. There may someone out there who needs to hear those kind words from a friend or even a stranger.Weigh your words carefully, you may be the only sunshine in someone's dark valley.
