“MOM” I’m doing a Word Check?

Sep 27th “MOM” I’m doing a Word Check?

When I was going to school – and had “homework” to do – there is always a word or two that I did not understand – and in some cases couldn’t even begin to spell. Well – when you know that you’re “MOTHER” knows “WORDS” inside and out – I would just ask and expect an answer to solve my problem? That did not work for me after awhile.

My “MOM” was way ahead of me – she knew that if I did not do some work on my own to find out about the words – on my own – she would be doing me a complete disservice.

So, for me the message came loud and clear – “Use the Dictionary” and read as much as possible to improve the brain and learn as I go. That’s what I did. When I started Collage, and had a list of books to purchase – I bought them all – and one of them was a very good dictionary. I just love good books and if I had to put out some good and hard earn money for the books – you know that I was going to have those books – forever!

So, as I am getting older and reading more – looking at words – probably the way that I should have – years ago? When I was younger, I took it easy in my word search – and did not really do the best job of studying words – that I could have when I had the time and now feel guilty about what I did not do – back then when I was a kid?

One book that is really important for me to read today and daily – is the Bible. In my reading – have to do a real search into the words as written and try to fully understand them – what the message is that I should be receiving. As I was reading in Psalms – came across a couple of words – that as I was looking at the words – saw another word in that word – and immediately a meaning came to mind. So, that is what I started doing and wrote down a few words.

First – the word, “SWORD” and immediately saw the inner word, “WORD” realizing – to use the wrong word to and or with someone – it is like using a sword against the other person and perhaps even cut off a very good friendship with some of the mean words I, use toward friend, and family. The next word on my list is “MOUTH” – so big the word “OUT” – meaning to me that – good and bad words can come out of our mouths so fast – that before we even think how “hateful” and deceitful and hurting we can be – and once the words are out of the mouth – they can never be recalled back in – and a tremendous amount of damage has been done. In my reading in Psalms – part of the understanding of – and what I am reading is that some of the words used – are there to hopefully help us to learn a new lesson – so that we are not killing family and friends with the words we are currently using.

Mom, since it was just your “BIRTHDAY” – I feel that you are always with me – and that you are still encouraging me to use good words – “The King’s Language” – like you, used to say to me – “Good Words Never Hurt Anyone” – and I will always feel good – “that I did it your way!”
