Some people labor so they may be wealthy,
But some folks are struggling just to be healthy.
We live in a world where evil abounds.
Much that we hear our good health confounds.
We can turn off the negative flow
And spread some well-being by words which we sow.
We can be messengers filled with good cheer
And issue strong health to all who are near.
We too are stronger as we choose our words,
For sweetness of speech our health undergirds.
Joy, when expressed, will chase ills away...
As fragrant and healing as a bouquet.
“The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.”
Proverbs 15:30 KJV
“”Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.”
Proverbs 16:24 KJV
“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.”
Proverbs 17:22 KJV
