BellaOnline Forums Family Christian Living What's your challenge?

This post is on the Christian Living Facebook page. You may have seen it:
Start the New Year right. Can you say only positive things about people (all) for the first full week? - no negative comments about people.

Lynne, it is so much easier and less stressful to be nice and smile than be grumpy and frown. As the old saying goes, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." The other expression is, "Kill them with kindness."

Thanks Angie. I grew up with those sayings. It is biblical.(I don't know about the kill them with kindness one. )


"I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak," Matthew 12:36 ESV

"But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you," Matthew 5:44 ESV

Have a happy healthy new year. I know it has been difficult for you this year. May God's blessings be upon you in 2015.

Anyone still working on the challenge of saying only positive things about people?
This includes the president, ex-husband, mother-in-law, neighbor, that irritating person at work....

This would be easy, Lynne, unless you stop and talk to someone not taking the challenge.
