Words are NOT Just Words

"My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry" James 1:19 

So, I have had a blog started for probably a month now -- obviously unable to actually post one. Words are important. They aren't so easy to take back, once they're out there that's it, one either built someone up or tore someone down or informed with correct info or bad info and the list goes on. 


The verse above was given to me by my mentor about a year or so ago. It has been a constant reminder for me. I am a fixer and sometimes people just need an ear. I am the same way sometimes. There are no words needed just a warm heart. I feel like that is what most people I come in contact daily need. 


Here at BFH, we have been busy with Fall Festival, families, programs (GED, computer, etc). It was been a blast! Busy...but fun. Fall Fest is one of my favorites. The community comes together and its one big party with old faces and new faces---family faces. This community is home. 


It not about words it's about action and knowing when to just listen.
