inspiration: kind, necessary and true

This post over on Lisa TerKeurst's blog was – without a doubt – the most challenging and inspiring thing I read all week.  An excerpt:

"I have preached one sermon about the words spoken in our home.  It
is a simple sermon.  Before you part your little sweetheart lips to
speak, you must ask yourself this question:  Are my words kind,
necessary, and true?

If the answer to all three parts of that question is yes… proceed ahead.

If the answer to any part of that question is no… stop the words from coming out."

Go read it. Please. We are adopting this is our house. I love it.
