“Sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me.”

admin — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 15:09:08 +0000

You know the old saying, “Sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me.” That is not true, words can hurt us! When you’re in an abusive situation, those words can sting like daggers to the heart and soul. If you are not aware, you will reciprocate with hurt words or pass them on to your innocent children.

In the session, “Silver Boxes”, the ladies are shown how their words can affect others. They will discover how the words they choose to express to others could determine that person’s destiny.

As the ladies continue to strip away the negative images of themselves, they are being built up with the encouraging help of Joshua Resource Center. We use the materials from the book Silver Boxes, by Florence Littauer, to challenge the ladies to communicate their words to others as silver boxes with silver ribbons around them. It is a good reminder to everyone that we should always speak positive and uplifting words to improve our relationships.
