Loose Strands

The spoken tongue has various strands that uses them for words to utter these need to be a breath so calm for if not I'm left with my stutter In all my years of life on earth words have been a constant horror struggle has always held me down makes one wish to be better tomorrow To be given a gift of strands that are not held so very tight praying often that they are loose loose and freed from this fight Listening to others speak so very free brings envy into one's heart and mind but this must not be allowed to be look up for loose strands duly lined

Hello Gordon ... being able to speak out is a real plus indeed. Instead of feeling alone you soon find people of kind are kind - thanks Gordon - Lindsay

Hi Lindsay, Glad you liked it and indeed when you're able to it's good but mostly not the case! Have a fun weekend, Gordon

I think I stuttered when I was a child, but don't now... but have always been shy, yet, as I grow older and grow in Christ, I find myself less shy than I once was. God bless you dear friend. Love, Gina

Oh Gordon I have known people who stutter and they were always so ashamed of their problem but there are those who can't speak at all. Thank God for the ability to express yourself. Perhaps if you weren't so self conscious of it you might be able to control it a bit. God Bless my friend. JB

Thanks Judy for your thoughtful words, I understand what you are meaning, but it's become really bad in the past 18 months since covid began and actually had the best day today for a long time so maybe things may be turning on the upward way.. Thanks for your SM, I'll get back to you sometime this week. Blessings always, Gordon
