Bible Quote by Lynn R. Davis
““DAY 1 Scripture Meditation: Proverbs 18:21 - "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." Thought for today: Your words can kill or give life. And there are consequences for both. Today make an effort to speak words that give life and hope for a new beginning to a coworker, friend or family member. Inspirational Quote: "A helping word to one in trouble is often like a switch on a railroad track an inch between wreck and smooth, rolling prosperity." -Henry Ward Beecher””
