Give Me Strength

It is a sin to hurt someone's feelings It is a sin to speak badly of your fellow even if what you say is true It is a sin to gossip, to slander, to bear tales How can I steer clear of sin's snares I who am weak, who is ensconced in sin's welcoming arms O, God, give me strength to speak well of others that they may speak well of me to judge not, lest I be judged

Difficult to do but so worth it in the end.

Well, as the end comes into view, it makes holding the tongue easier to do, methinks. :) gw

You express it beautifully, Gershon. It's not always easy to hold one's tongue.. Sage advise we should all follow. Warmest wishes, my inspiring friend.. ~Susan

Glad to see that whatever cat had hold of your tongue finally let go. Great to see you back on the Soup, Susan! Moonbeams and Starlight, Gershon
