Are You Like Steve Urkel And Tear Up Everything?

It is like the TV character Steve Urkel who would tear up anything and everything. Afterwards he would say ” Did I do that?”

Seemingly he acted like he didn’t know that he had done anything wrong. He was in the dark about everything that his actions had done. He seemed innocent in any destruction he had caused.

People say hurtful things and act as if they had no idea that could be destructive to the relationship. They would act like what did I do, I only said so and so?

There is a little saying that we used to say when we were kids. It went something like sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me. Well, I’m here to say that words can be very hurtful. I would almost rather have the sticks and stones.

Words are like arrows shot from a bow and arrow once they leave the bow, the arrows can never return. Once you let your words proceed out of your mouth you can never grab them back.

Words are powerful especially to children who are so impressionable. We can’t wait for them to walk and talk and then we tell them to sit down and shut up!

We tell them they are dumb, clumsy and other statements of incompetence. We can program them with negative programming in the first few years of their lives that will take years of reprogramming for them to be productive in life!

Millions of children go to bed hungry tonight for lack of food and nourishment. Millions more will go to bed hungry tonight for lack of encouragement.

Words are powerful and life-changing. Words can build people up to accomplish great things, or tear them down and render them almost useless and helpless.

A little boy living in the country had never seen a traveling circus, and one was coming to his town on Saturday.

Saturday morning came. He asked his father for some money. His dad reached in his overalls and pulled out a dollar bill-the most money the boy had ever seen at one time. Off the little wide-eyed fellow went.

As he approached the town, he saw people lining the streets. Peering through the line at one point, he got his first glimpse of the parade. There were animals in cages and marching bands.

Finally, a clown was seen bringing up the rear of the parade. The little boy was so excited that when the clown passed, he reached in his pocket and handed him the precious dollar bill. Thinking he had seen the circus when he had only seen the parade, the little boy turned around and went home.

The tragedy of most of our lives isn’t that we aspire too high and fail. It’s rather that we settle for too little. We could have a greater influence, and yet, because of fear or ignorance, shame, or inertia, we take the precious dollar of our lives and settle for the parade instead of the real thing.
