Words

I know it's been awhile forever since I've updated anyone on anything going on.  Today has been a hard day- I have to take a step back and remember I'm not facing anything compared to some who are facing so much in their lives, but for me today was a huge slap in my face.  You know those days where someone words just sting so much and the hurt that you've kept bottled up for so long just come flooding out- well today was one of those days! 

This morning I had to make a phone call for Judaen because he's getting a second set of tubes in his ears.  During this phone call I was treated very rudely and the words spoken normally would just make me mad, but today, they hurt.  As a mommy of two boys who have things going on with them 95 % of the time each and every day of their lives medically speaking, I hold alot in.  Alot of the hurt, confusion, pain, etc gets put on the back burner because I want to be HAPPY for my kids.  I don't hide it, they know when it really hurts, but for the most part the small stuff, the bills, the constant phone calls, the appts, the stress of all the small stuff gets put away.  Today after my call I wanted to run outside, scream at the top of my lungs, crawl into bed, and cry and pray. 

Words- the things we use to communicate with others can hurt so very much.  I pray today as I'm reminded just how much they can hurt that I have a tender tone when talking to others, that the words I say are uplifting, and that I can only speak nicely of others and be reminded of the giants they are facing in their own lives. 

May each of you have a blessed day and the words spoken to one another are pleasant words!
