From the fruit of his lips a man is filled with good things as surely as the work of his hands rewards him.  Proverbs 12:14

As we grow from childhood into an adult we learn the value and joy of working hard, at least for most of us.  Our labor can provide us with income that will bless us and our families.  But sometimes we forget the income that comes from our mouth.  With it we express through words, tones and expressions the attitude of our heart.  It is here where grace can be experienced with great refreshment.  Grace changes everything for it brings back to life the nature and attitude of God in us.  We then have the privilege of being aware of words, tones and expressions that may not bring a blessing to those who hear and see.  But at the same time having a wonderful opportunity to have our emotions be words of grace.  Today may you rejoice in the work of your hands, but especially rejoice in what grace sounds like as it is being spoken and expressed through your life and character.  You will like it and it will put a smile on your face as well as those around you.  Enjoy!
