Use Your Words Wisely


I just got back from visiting people in the hospitals. It was a joy. We have a baby on the way and others are improving.

I did have a scare. I was inquiring about one of our members whose room was empty by asking the nurse at the desk, “Do you know where she is?” The nurse responded by saying, “She’s no longer with us.” I think the look of shock let her know that I had just heard something she didn’t intend to say. She immediately responded with, “I mean she has been dismissed and is doing fine.”

Life Lesson: Use your words wisely or you might say something you don’t mean. I do not always use words wisely, and so, this was a good reminder for me. I hope it is for you too.
