12-Words of affirmation

Work camp taught me a lot of valuable lessons but none more valuable than the power of speaking words of affirmation or holding my tongue. Words can empower an individual to achieve more than they are normally capable of or they can quench the spirit. This weeks challenge will be to speak words of affirmation instead of condemnation, to be an encourager instead of a discourager, to hold my tongue, tighten the lips and visualize a rewind button when tempted to speak words that have the potential to tear down instead of build up.
