Dixon Blvd. Shelby, NC Through A Woman’s Eyes By Martha Hynson Lessons For A Lifetime Lessons For A Lifetime When she speaks her words are wise and she gives instruction with kindness. Proverbs 31:26 As I’m writing this article, it’s not yet Thanksgiving, but I just read a friend’s message on facebook, saying she already has three Christmas trees up at her house. Main Street in my town has had Christmas lights up since before Halloween. Why are people so eager for the Christmas season? I think most of us are anxious to start the celebration because we long for more of the spirit of love and kindness that defines Christmas. We want this season of goodwill to last as long as possible. Of course the flip side of this is that we can get so caught up in trying to have the “perfect” Christmas that, instead of conveying a spirit of peace and goodwill, we can become stressed and impatient with others. I wonder if the Proverbs 31 woman ever spent a day in a crowded mall searching for that over- priced, hard-to-find, must-have gift before going home to bake cookies, wrap presents, and take three kids in three different directions to various holiday events. If she had, I wonder if her words might have been a little less wise and kind… Actually the struggle to control the tongue is not a byproduct of 21st century life. The Bible has a lot to say about it. I know because those passages are frequently the ones that jump out at me. I keep a prayer journal and prayers for wisdom and kindness have been recurring themes over the years. As I look back at what God has impressed on me in response to those prayers, I realize they’re some of the same things I teach my kindergarten students, and yet they can take a lifetime to develop. One thing I need to remember is that words begin as thoughts. When I’m helping children learn to read, I tell them that when they come to a word they don’t know, they should think about what they just read, “get their mouth ready” (make the beginning sound) and sometimes the right word will just “pop out.” Sometimes when I’m in a conversation and emotions are running high, words do seem to just pop out of my mouth, but in reality my thoughts have gotten my mouth ready to say them. If my thoughts are negative, my words will be, as well. It sounds simple, but if I want to speak kind words, I need to think kind thoughts. I also need to learn to really listen to others. Kindergarteners are famous for yelling out excitedly instead of waiting for their turn to speak. Even when they do remember to raise their hands, they tend to bounce up and down waving their hands in the air while someone else is speaking. I remind them that they can’t be listening if they’re busy thinking about what they want to say. Proverbs 10:10 says, “When words are many, sin is not absent. He who holds his tongue is wise.” Most importantly, I need to remember that I can’t do it alone. James 2:8 says, “No man can tame the tongue.” I need God’s help in order to speak words that are wise and kind. This takes me right back to the two principles I just mentioned. In order to think right thoughts, I need to spend time meditating on God’s word, and I need to be quiet and listen for His still small voice. Then I need to go one step further, by obeying. James 1:22 says, “Do not merely listen to the Word, and so deceive yourselves, do what it says.” One of the main rules in kindergarten is to follow directions the first time. This is a great rule when it comes to following God, too. Thankfully though, He is a God of second, third, and fourth chances. He will even use the times I blow it to help my words become wise and kind by remind- ing me that I need to extend to others the same forgiveness He has shown me. After all, the person I’m dealing with may have just spent hours in a crowded shopping mall looking for that over-priced, hard-to-find, must-have gift...
