BE CAREFUL OF STONES YOU THROW

A tongue can accuse and carry bad news,
The seeds of distrust, it will sow.
But unless you've made no mistakes in your life,
Be careful of stones that you throw.
(SPOKEN)
  A neighbor was passing my garden one time,
She stopped and I knew right away,
That it was gossip, not flowers, she had on her mind,
And this is what I heard my neighbor say:

"That girl down the street should be run from our midst,
She drinks and she talks quite a lot,
She knows not to speak to my child or to me."

My neighbor then smiled and I thought:

 A tongue can accuse and carry bad news,
The seeds of distrust, it will sow.
But unless you've made no mistakes in your life,
Be careful of stones that you throw.
(SPOKEN)

A car speeded by and the screamin' of brakes
A sound that made my blood chill
For my neighbor's one child had been pulled from the path

And saved by a girl lying still.
The child was unhurt and my neighbor cried out:
"Oh! who was that brave girl so sweet?"

I covered the crushed, broken body and said:
"The bad girl who lived down the street."

A tongue can accuse and carry bad news,
The seeds of distrust, it will sow.
But unless you've made no mistakes in your life,
Be careful of stones that you throw.

Here are a few Verses about how evil the tongue can be

Proverbs 15:2 The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright:
 but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.
Proverbs 15:4 A wholesome tongue is a tree of life:
but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
James 3:8 But the tongue can no man tame;
it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
 


Have a blessed day!
