Love Comes From a Heavenly Place.
Therefore, love has its own lofty-language.
“Sticks and stones will break your bones, but names will never harm
you.” Regardless of what this quote says words can harm us, and probably have.
Hurled at us in anger, fear, or out of prejudice they can inflict injuries deep
and lasting. Like a barrage of sharp stones they can break through the surface
of our skin, make us bleed, and scare us for life. Akin to sand in a wet bathing
suit, nagging words can irritate and chafe. Negativity can rob a person of hope.
Silence can scream at us so loudly our insides cry out in pain. Belittling or
disparaging statements can diminish our self-esteem. Yelling can intimidate,
terrorize, and humiliate. Nasty comments, swear words, and taunting teasing can
erode away the foundation of close relationships. Insensitive verbalizations can
cause acute discomfort in the present and lead to future permanent
damage.
Once said, ugly, mean, or cruel words become
indelible. Saying, “I’m sorry,” neither removes the sting nor erases the
unpleasant memory. A profusion of compliments or gifts cannot eradicate any
unkindness. Although it’s important to speak from our hearts, it is of equal
importance to think with our heads before speaking. Since words have the
potential to devastate, damage, or destroy, we have a grave responsibility to
use them wisely. In addition, the way people hear us is the way people see us.
Our words act as self-portraits. They paint permanent images of who we are.
Furthermore, our words provide positive or negative role models for our children
to emulate.
Love comes from a heavenly
place. Therefore, it is no surprise love has its own lofty-language. This
universal language transcends culture. The language of love has the power to
promote goodness, peace, and unity in our homes. It’s the cornerstone of any
solid caring relationship and a necessary daily tool. In order to maintain and
foster the integrity of healthy loving interactions it’s imperative to speak
this angelic language fluently.
The following simple recipe can strengthen relationships:
Rice Pudding
(A dreamy way to communicate)
100 % stone free words
Sprinkle with comfort
Dash of compliments
Pinch of humor
Top with magical expressions
Whenever speaking to your loved ones use the
language of love 100% of the time. There is no place in these sacred
relationships for random thoughtless glibness. Nor is there room for the silent
treatment. This passive-aggressive isolating behavior can loudly condemn,
frighten, and/or alienate. Adoring words akin to warm nurturing blankets
provide coziness. Compliments boost morale. A liberal dose of humor makes home
life relaxed and easy. In addition, a light-hearted attitude can prevent or
diffuse arguments. Since our loved ones deserve to receive respect, shower them
with the tried and true magic words: please, thank you, and you’re welcome. By
consistently combining all of the above ingredients, you will really be cooking
with LOVE.
