Laughter can conceal a heavy heart, but when the laughter ends, the grief remains.

A gentle answer deflects anger, but harsh words make tempers flare.

For the despondent, every day brings trouble; for the happy heart, life is a continual feast.

Everyone enjoys a fitting reply; it is wonderful to say the right thing at the right time!

Lord God my Father,

Your peace restores me and brings healing and strength. Keep me peaceful in all my endeavors. Hold me up in times of despair and help me to trust your plan. Help me to share your desire through my actions.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
