Wednesday, July 1st. Today's cherished Nugget from guest blogger Pastor Bill.

Firing an employee is one of the toughest jobs a supervisor ever faces. An insurance sales manager was known for his tact and diplomacy. One of his young salesmen was performing so poorly that he had to be terminated. The manager called him in and said, “Son, I don’t know how we’re ever going to get along without you, but starting Monday we’re going to try.”

Many times it is not what you say, but how you say it. The writer of Proverbs gives this good advice:

“A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.”
(Proverbs 15:1)

"God, Help me to learn to control my tongue, using it for blessing and not condemnation.
Amen."

Walk with Him in the light of His word.
