\nAnd \u201ca word in season, how good it is\u201d <\/em>means saying something just at the right time is important and can bring goodness to the receiver and also to the speaker.<\/p>\n
\nTomorrow we will begin “Conversation Hearts” this 28 day Devotional is meant to keep us focused on the words we speak daily.
\nJesus said:\u00a0…”For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.”\u00a0<\/i>Jesus was saying that our mouths will speak what is in our heart—therefore, we should check our hearts daily to see what is in them. This Daily Devotional will help us do that by giving us a “little conversation heart” for each day that we can use to keep our speech sweet and good.
\nI hope you will join us for this next devotional.<\/p>\n
