Words have far greater power Than this world will ever know, For they can heal the broken-hearted And cause the small and weak to grow. They give hope to the tired and discouraged, When said with a warm, loving smile, And they can strengthen the step of the weary As they travel that last rugged mile. Yes, words can lift up the spirits Of those who are bowed with despair, For words can fill them with courage, Because they show them how much you care. Gentle words spoken at just the right time Can soften a cold, hardened heart, And in the dark times of doubt and of fear, Strength, joy and peace they impart. So think carefully about each word that you speak, And how somebody may be affected, For words can also kill and destroy, If by love they have not been perfected. So speak only words that encourage.
A few kind words were spoken to me the other day. Although they were just a couple words they touched my heart. So to that person (if they ever read this lol) Thank you.

Legend of Sasquatch
My middle daughter Elli (8) said one of the silliest things yesterday. I thought it would be nice to go and rent a movie for the girls to watch while daddy watched his. So I went to the local RedBox and rented The Legend of Sasquatch.
When the girls got home I told them I rented the movie and to get their homework done so they could watch it. As I placed the DVD in the player, Elli looks at me with the most serious face and says...."I wonder what a Sasquatch taste like?" This question probably comes from the "If we have never tried it and it sounds good, then we buy and try it.
I was trying very hard not to bust out laughing and hurt her feelings. I told her "Well, I guess like fur." She looks at me with a puzzled face and says.... "Why would a vegetable taste like fur?" With that simple question I lost all control I had over my laughter. But once I explained to her further what a sasquatch was, she was laughing just as hard.
