Words

Everyone knows the old adage of “actions speak louder than words” and at times I couldn’t agree more with it. But, if we only go by actions we might miss something very special.

Words have power, both good and bad – but I’m focusing on the good with this, words can illicit wonderful things in us. Words can be in the form of long handwritten letters to loved ones, small notes left in a loved ones lunch box, or even in the modern age emails. Words can be spoken face to face.

All forms have importance.

Words have importance. Words can come from people far away and impact your life when you least expect it, and when you need it most. Words can be whispered into your ear so no one else can hear causing that smile to spread across your face.

Words have power. Words should be respected and used frequently. We should share our words with the people that matter to us.

i agree with you Kev. Those who think that actions alone should suffice, ie-- "she knows I love her. I show her all the time." need to realize that actions do speak louder than words...when the actions contradict the words.

The key comes in aligning the both of them. Actions and words that exist and support each other give power to the words.

God, you're deep sometimes.
