As a writer and speaker I am very aware of the power of what I say. Everyday I endeavor to live this principle; "...let not any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up". At home we apply the "was that kind?" question to challenge each other. This is especially important in teaching our 5 and 3 year old the power of their speech but also with each other. How easy it is to let our kindness slip with those we're closest too when
