It is no secret to my family and close friends that I am always searching for local, raw honey. It is a wonderful, natural and sweet God-given gift. Yet, not only is it delicious, but it also includes health benefits. A moderate portion of honey is now part of my daily routine.
I began thinking about a beautiful Scripture passage. Proverbs 16: 24 says, "Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones."
Personally, I remember how pleasant words from someone, at just the right time, have made a tremendous difference in my life. It didn't require too many words. It didn't require fancy speeches. Someone simply cared and shared kindness. Those words changed so much in a very brief time. I had no doubt that it happened by, what I call, a "nod from God."
As a very small amount of delicious honey brings positive benefits into my life, I pray that we will take time to speak pleasant words to others. Encouragement, compassion, sincerity and genuine concern may touch lives more than we will ever realize. It's worth each moment to them...and to Him.♥~thl
