Day 18 - Communication

Today I am grateful for communication. I’m grateful for the ability to talk to people and work out problems. I’m grateful for friends and family who listen before jumping to conclusions. Learning how to communicate effectively has got to be one of the hardest things to do and also one of the most rewarding. Instead of becoming frustrated because you are stuck in a world of misunderstandings and assumptions can be extremely disheartening. I love being able to be on the same page with people. I love feeling connected with the people I am openly communicating with. I love having a mutual feeling of understanding. I love that someone can understand how I am feeling emotionally and empathize with me.

Words are powerful tools. They can eloquently fabricate an entire universe in literature. They can meticulously lay out a process. They can communicate feelings and hopes and dreams. They can also destroy trust, disappoint, manipulate and falsify.


I am grateful for the gift of words. And I am even more grateful when words are used to bless rather than tear down. I love the people in my life who use words to uplift and give hope and communicate effectively. I am grateful to them for their sincerity and honesty. If we are friends, you can know that I am talking about you. Thank you so much for using words the way God intended them to be used.
