Keep It Simple

Words are sacred, we must use them wisely. . . . They are a gift from God. Burton Pretty-On-Top, Crow Spiritual Leader

We use words to bring peace to others. We can use words to tell God and others how much we care. Or we can use words to hurt others. We can curse them and scare them away. We often did when we used alcohol and other drugs.
In recovery, we learn to use words in a kind, wise way. We treat words as a gift from God. We use words to build our relationships.
Do I always use words in a kind way? Do I treat words as a powerful gift from God? Do my words make the world better or worse for those who hear me speak?

Prayer for the Day: Higher Power, when I speak words, help me think about their power. Help me speak to others in a kind way.

Action for the Day: Today, I'll speak to others with respect. My words will add a little kindness, honesty, and love to the world today.
