The Mindful Farmers Daily Diary Day 142

Good morning everyone and welcome to Ballinwillin House Farm and gardens on day 37 out of lock down. Yesterday saw the passing of a great man, John Hume who brought about peace to our island. He convinced leaders across the world to support our peace process and with words not violence. We must be very careful with our words. Words have great power to help, to bless but also to offend. When you speak carelessly or negatively, you damage a piece of yourself and the ability to verbalize is an awesome privilege, so respect it! Our modern world is a world of instant response and quick witted retorts are the order of the day now. But as you grow older and wiser it is important to do the following:- be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. The benefits of this discipline can help us all greatly. So today, choose your words carefully and kindly.

Continue to pray, bless and send healing to each other and wear that smile.
