I Salute You: Woman

A Savvy woman of strength, you who have defied all odds.
Through the storms of life you still stand strong.
Woman of virtue, one who, despite the pressures to conform stands resolute, unyielding.

A woman decorated with beauty within and without. One who knows the value of true friendship. One who understands that it is in the simple things in life that happinesses, Laughter, friendship and love is found.  

A woman who was forgotten yesteryears, over looked, left behind, refused and denied.

Stood up and fought for her place.for what she believed. For her rights, for she will not be denied.For her children because she wanted a better world for them. For her voice to be heard and her vote to matter.

For her right to choose.
For her place in the home, boardroom, offices, in government, in the highest luncheon of society.

Her fire cannot be quenchedHer zeal cannot be destroyed Her passion cannot be rivalled.

I salute you, Woman.

Still she fights to be respected.
To be recognised as equalled.
To be esteem for her talents and all her gifts. 

Still she fights and win she must because the future belongs to those who refuse to give up and give in.
The future belongs to her.

Happy International Women’s day.

World Without Words

Words can hurt

Words can heal

Words can create 

And they can destroy

Words can encourage

And they can be demeaning

Words can be soft or can be stern

Words can kill and can bring to life

Words can ignite hope and can diminish same

Words are powerful because we speak.

Now imagine a world without the spoken word, imagine if children do not hear hateful demanding words from peers, parents or teachers, 

Perhaps we won't have adults with diminished self esteem, depression and multiple personalities, 

Imagine if we had not told that gossip, we won't have a friend hurt by the tale of another. 

Words permeate, they dissipate and illuminate. 

On the other hand, If there were no words we will not hear encouraging, uplifting, positive and character building words. 

So a world without words would have been a world without life, vision or purpose. Because words creat vision, purpose and action. 

See proverbs 25:11: a word fitly spoken Is like apples of gold in pictures of silver?

" wow ever seen apples of gold"? 

I have seen Christmas bubbles shaped in apples of golden ornaments, they are really pretty, a word spoken at the right time is beautiful, creative and elevating, enticing and uplifting. 

Sometimes our unspoken words hurt, refusing to give an encouraging word when needed or refusing to gently scold when needed Or refusing to make a call when needed, can cause more damage than spoken words. 

Let's choose to speak words that restores hope, faith, belief, love, words of praise, encouragement and edification. 

Sift your words because it has immense power.,

So choose your words carefully but nevertheless speak. 

Ask God to bridle your tongue against sinful words, unintentional hurtful words.
