The question is what we are building? And while we are building or we demolishing something or someone who is more valuable than what we are constructing with the fruits of our mouth?
For some folks, the bitter fruits of their own lips...
Their word choices critical, and harsh...often destroy others in their path of life before catching up to themselves.
With their own tongue they isolate others and themselves at the same time...
But their targets often in their loneliness, and frustrations...
Often drop out of school...figuring its better to be a drop-out...get any sort of job...
Than to be ABUSED!
The news reports constantly are reporting different statistics of the number of Middle School & High School aged drop-outs increasing.
Just a few nights ago it was reported on National News of a young boy who loved everyone yet hateful children bullied him till he committed suicide than to continue to be victimize by such constant terrorizing hatred...bullying!
Those who bully others are themselves on the inside insecure....AFRAID themselves. By acting mean and tough...Their own BLUFF...In their own eyes they think that they have a better image to others if they act tougher than they are!
Sad thing...is that all of these fallacies...are just that Falsehoods...Untruths! Fakes!
Fakes always eventually break and fall apart.
For The Truth & only The Truth sets anyone free and sets them apart and above all the Fakey Flakeys...
Far above & beyond...
So even if you are not a Carpenter and cannot construct a house with wood, hammer & nail....
Drivers or screws...
You can choose to always be building strong foundations of confidence, joy, contentment, and eagerness to learn and achieve...in everyone you meet and greet along every street you walk within your day.
While all of us make make the conscious choice to be lifters instead of sifters...
Poking eyes out with harsh words that divide...
Eventually our hearts become transformed by the purposeful affirming word choices we make...
And a time will come that even the toughest of critical hearts...after months of practice speaking affirming kindnesses to others...will become gentle and tender hearted themselves.
As Mother Theresa once told a bunch of business men who wanted to giver her billions of dollars to PURCHASE WORLD PEACE...
"Go home to your own wives & children...to your work places & your own communities and SMILE AT THEM!
They will know you love them....Feeling loved your children will smile & love other children...they will be happy...and bring that love home to their parent & families & neighbors and they will be loved and happy too!
Your wives loved by you will smile at grocery store...at the post office and she too will spread love that is taken home by others.... Love freely given & received makes the world go round!"
So let us all be encouraging builders of confident, ambitious, courteous, kind striving neighbors...
Brothers and Sisters!
As we do we will be strengthening and blessing ourselves too...
Building instead of bullying always has greater and lasting benefits....
Relationships that bless oneself and others...and raise all to higher hieghts instead of prisons of ones own making.

DeleteWhen you give to The Carpenters Friend you help give young men who were unable to learn in traditional classrooms the ability to learn a Vocational Carpentry from a carpenter who focuses on the one who he is presently with and not just the vast many alll lumped together...
Thus, each one receives the personal attention he did not receive when younger that caused him to get involved in drugs or in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong gang.
Every person can learn when someone who cares takes the time to listen to them enough to recognize what truth did he not understand so that he can be taught in a way knowledge is truly received.
And when you give to The Carpenters Friend, you are making the difference in many lives.
