Reverend Darleen visited to speak to us about thinking responsibly before we speak. Once unkind words are spoken, they can’t be taken back – it’s like trying to put toothpaste back in the tube. (Well done Leo for bravely attempting this impossible task!) Reverend Darleen read to us from James 3:5-6:
It only takes a spark, remember, to set off a forest fire. A careless or wrongly placed word out of your mouth can do that. By our speech we can ruin the world, turn harmony to chaos, throw mud on a reputation, send the whole world up in smoke.
