We took a walk downtown with some good friends today and went to a store that sells craft stuff for super cheap because it is donated and then to a little cafe where we can get authentic croissants. I thought they made them there, but they actually get them shipped in from France. Isn't that crazy? They are really good! It was fun, the kids had a ball!
In Sunday School, we have been going through a book about relationships, and yesterday we were talking about the power of words. Words reflect what it is in your heart. I think the verse that says "out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks" gives such a great word picture. It is like a stream spilling over, showing exactly what is inside of you. It is extremely convicting. Every careless or thoughtless word has weight. I've been praying about being humble and it seems that the way the Lord is going to do it (which is good) is by continually revealing areas in my life that are just full of sin. And this is a major one! The one leader really put it well when he said it is a continual cycle, the things we see and hear affect our hearts which affect our speech which then affect the things we see and hear. (That, of course, is not as well put.) It's a lot to think about.
So now I am going to go think about it some more. Have a great night!
