A Word Fitly Spoken ~ Acceptance

A WORD FITLY SPOKEN

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. Proverbs 25:11

I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good thing, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any fellow human being let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.~Stephen Grellet

Acceptance: The act of accepting, a receiving what is offered, with approbation, satisfaction, acquiescence; especially favorable receptance, approval ~ Webster's Revised Dictionary

Within the busyness of our everyday lives we often overlook an important aspect which can actually add to the quality of our lives daily. It is not found in all the wonderful self achieving activities that fulfill our days. It will not be found in our oasis of personal escapes. It is however, found in the simplest words spoken from the Heart.

With all the anxieties that seem to creep in from our incredible 21st Century life styles some of our "Kinder and Gentler Ways" have been altered. The security of acceptance is not an assurance to most of us anymore. From the very young to the very old and every age in between, the desire for acceptance is still longed for and appreciated. The comfort of sincere acceptance is like pouring honey on a warm biscuit; it just makes it all the more the better! So it is in Life when we know we are accepted and are shown acceptance by someone else.

Perhaps today YOU can make someone else's day more acceptable! YOU can be the one to reach out and express a sincere heartfelt acceptance to the one right next to YOU. Be it toward your own Family member, your Friend, your Neighbor. Right where YOU are at! Share a thoughtful moment of Heart to Heart acceptance. Out of the blue, for no other reason than they too are a Human Being on this Great Planet Earth with YOU. Remem-ber, some of the simplest words spoken are still the most appreciated!
