Cheerful Words

“A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!” (Proverbs 15:23).

I picked up the phone and called my good friend, Barbara. Her low, dull voice indicated that she was sick. But, by the time we ended our conversation she had a definite happy lilt to her voice despite her pounding headache. My own spirit had been lifted and encouraged by seeking out my friend by phone. She lifted me. I cheered her. “Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.” (Proverbs 12:25). A simple phone call, yet so healing.

“Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.” Proverbs 16:24) Feeling low? Speak a good word to someone today. You both will feel a little better and a lot more cheerful!
