The true alchemists do not change lead into gold; they change the world into words.
William H. Gass
My husband is a wizard with words. He knows how to make sentences worth while listening to. He knows how to formulate an idea and make it explainable in words.Moses was not clever with words and asked God for help as he was called upon to speak to the Israelites.
I think there are many of us who feel like that; that the words don't come out right, or that it's hard to know what to say. Aron, Moses' brother, had a greater talent for speech and was chosen to help him out.
I went to a funeral once where I felt that a hug was more important than words - and we have often heard the saying that action speaks louder than words. But there are times when words are important and some have a love language where words are most vital. Most of us need good words now and then for encouragement and building self-esteem.
When my husband says good words to me I want to savor them, put them in my heart, and bring them out whenever I need them.
