I just want to share "some words"...

Filed under: Mena SuvariI just want to share "some words"
When life seems to overwhelm us, conflict and confuse - remember how great we all really are as individuals and how much potential we truly have:
GIVE ME WORDS OF PEACE
Give me words of peace, so that I may defuse all
guns and bombs around me.
Give me words of hope, so that I may start rebuilding
and repairing again.
Give me words of love, so that I may put an end to
hate.
Give me words of faith, so that I may cast out fear.
Give me words of thankfulness, so that I may show
my gratitude to all those around me.
Give me words of truth, so that I may fill the hungry
heart and satisfy the thirsty soul.
Give me the right words, so that I may make others
happy, because a tongue that speaks the truth can
heal wounds, and sweet is the sound of a word
spoken in love.
Lips that proclaim compassion are sweeter than
honey, and a tongue that speaks mercy is better
than sacrifice.
Our mouths speak about the things that our hearts
are full of, and our eyes cannot lie about what we
feel inside.
We cannot stop bad thoughts from entering our mind,
but we can decide which ones to allow to remain.
We have the power to have a positive impact on the
world by choosing to live a meaningful life.
