Club Lips
Written by FAVORED1 on June 30, 2008 – 10:07 am -Good Morning Beloved,
Happy Monday! Remember ‘sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me’?…. We have found out that words, while not breaking our physical skin, can penetrate our ‘spiritual and emotional’ skin. Words can hurt… and words can heal. Our whole claim to the gospel of Jesus Christ hinges on the “Word” of God. The Word that the Spirit of God breathed into the hearts of men and women of God. They in turn wrote those Words for us, and over 2000 years later, we are directly affected by them. Words that tell of Jesus’ sacrifice and of His triumph. Words that show us the way to salvation. Words that teach us who God is. Words that affirm how much God loves us. Words that correct us. Words that instruct us on everyday living. Words that build up families. Words that tell us how we should treat our enemies, as well as our friends. Words that express commitment. Words of warning. Words of prophecy. Words of deliverance. Words….. Words are so powerful that Proverbs warns that, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof“. (Proverbs 18:21)
I love the cartoon featured below. It is a powerful reminder to me…. Regina … monitor the patrons of “club lips”. 
Cartoonist’s Comment:
It is very important that we not allow just any word through the door of our lips.

I can relate to this!
I was called “Wednesday’s Child” for many years by my Mom, who I love dearly, don’t get me wrong, but it came from a little poem she would tell us…and it hurt every time it was brought up….
Monday’s child is fair of face
Tuesday’s child is full of grace
Wednesdays child is full of woe (me)
Thursday’s child has far to go
Friday’s child is good and giving
Saturday’s child works hard for a living
But the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonnie and blithe and good and gay
I think that’s the correct format.
My point is, I was labeled and lived with that until my fifties, when I suddenly realised (with a little help from my sister) that I need not be burdened by that….because as a child of God, I have been REBORN and I am now a child of grace, I am now TUESDAY’S child!
Words can definitely hurt and words can definitely heal…….let’s be healers, not hurters….
