QUICKS DRAW

SUNDAY! Good Day to all..on this HIS day... so kick back, and do what is fun, make you feel good,, as long as it is pre-approved by His word....have a great day! Me,,, better today,, looks like I made a turn yesterday.. small but a turn, thanks for all the prayers ,, and the many responses! God is always wonderful, even when you find yourself in what you think is a rough spot.. for there are more worse than us! QUICK DRAW! Back in the ole wild west days,, there was always one cowboy, that though he had a fast gun,,, even the fastest ,, and you could find plenty of these young cowboys,, in boot hill ,,, and if you could have seen their faces,, of of disbelief on their faces, when they realized they were not that fast.. Did you know a quick draw can be done without a gun? It can be a look,, a word, or words,, and it can cut deeper than a bullet,,,and it usually is a better shot than that young cowboy, right through the heart, and can kill feeling as quick as a bullet can kill a body. Did you know you had the lives of some people right in the "palm of your mouth"? Yes the palm of your mouth ,,that,,, sometimes ugly tongue! How many times have you said something so quick,, so strong,, so cutting,, so penetrating,,, that you could even feel the impact yourself? A quick draw of the tongue,,, once said,, cannot be taken back ,, it is out,, it has hurt,, and it is someone you love deeply...or maybe it is a friend,, an acquaintance,, no matter who,,, already fired,,,, right into the heart! We all need to put a delay trigger on our tongue,, and think before we speak,,, and if we think of something that is going to hurt,, delay,, and try to say something constructive,, or just walk off and don't say anything. Can you do it? Sure you can,, it just takes practice,, believe me ,, I use to be one of those "Quick Draws" of the mouth,, and yes I have hurt, and I have had my butt kicked also because of engaging the tongue before the brain.. One way that will help you control that tongue,,, and those blasts of hurt,,, is to accept Jesus as your personal savior,,and then ask Him to help you guard against these outbursts.... I guarantee,,, that He can do it,,, He will help you hang up that quick draw of a gun of a mouth,,, and make you a QUIET,,,, AND RESPONSIBLE DRAW! Lord, thank you for the clip on our tongues, Jesus, that keep the words of hate and hurt in check , casted out of our minds and not released out to the ones we come in contact with ,, amen John HIcks One who has learned the hard way,,, a lot of bumps and bruises,,, but thank God,, for the intervention,,, Have you asked or know someone who needs Him? Have you done anything about it? Well, what are you waiting for?? Ask and Testify!!! ");
