SAYING THE WRONG THING!!

"A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver". Proverbs 25:11. Words! Words! Words! Sometimes they come by the gallon while the thoughts come by the spoonful, isn't it? Let me admit it- I am guilty. During my recent mission trip I met a friend of mine whom I had not seen in last ten years. "How is your wife?" I asked him. "She's in heaven", was the reply. "Oh, I'm sorry"- I said. Then I realized that didn't sound right. So I added "I mean, I'm glad". Now that sounded even worse. I finally blurted out with, "Well, I'm surprised". After that incident I told myself "THINK MAN THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK"! Hot words inflame human relationships, but cool words never scald a tongue or burn a listener. Am I right? YEAH?
