Words<\/p>\n

Wordscan\u2019t<\/span><\/span><\/u> break bones,
But they can<\/span><\/u><\/span> break hearts!<\/span><\/p>\n

So declared the large billboard at the entrance of a school in Freeport, Bahamas.<\/p>\n

It made me think of a rhyme we used to chant when we were children and someone called us an unkind name or said something mean. I think it went something like this:<\/p>\n

\u201cSticks and stones may break my bones,
But names will never hurt me!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

However, this is not quite true. Words can, and do, break hearts. What is said can hurt <\/span>\u2014 <\/span>hurt deeply. Perhaps this is why David prayed these words: \u201cSet a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips\u201d<\/span> (Psalm 141:3).<\/p>\n

Here is how the Sunday school song we used to sing expressed it:<\/p>\n

Oh, be careful, little tongue, what you say,
Oh, be careful, little tongue, what you say.
There\u2019s a Father up above looking down in tender love,
Oh, be careful, little tongue, what you say.<\/p>\n
