When I saw this quote I knew I had to share it. It reminds me to think before I act or speak.
It is so true that once you do the action of saying or accusing another of a wrong you need to absolutely know what you are talking about. It brings to mind "Let the first one without sin throw the first stone".
Once you say something, once you have opened your mouth you can never take back what you have said. Be very careful what you say.
Once you have not taken advantage of an opportunity it may never come again. It is now an opportunity that lost, one that has passed you by.
Time does keep moving. We all need to be aware of what is going on around us. By not paying attention we may let an opportunity go by us.
I believe that we all have opportunities that we let go by as well as say things we know we should never say.
What do you think?

I completely agree-I try to be very careful to make sure my words are uplifting and don't bring others down.

I totally agree. There are so many missed oportunities in lfe that we'll always regret. The thing that (sometimes) keeps me from saying what I really think is that I know the Holy Spirit won't let me rest until I've apologized.

I absolutely love this quote, and have it hanging on my wall at home. It's been a great teaching strategy for my kids, and a reminder to us all about how we should live our lives.
