You ...Cynthia, my pleasure to be of service to you. You are such terrific writer, I appreciate whatever input you offer me.<br /><br />Sweet Susie, I never thought of unsaid words to parents as such a loss. Thank you for pointing that out.<br /><br />Cherry, thank you so much. I really wanted to add a poem to my post, one I've recently written, but was afraid it would dilute the main message. And I do so much feel deeply about too many words. <br /><br />Katy, beloved one. Bet my idle word list is longer than yours, nanny nanny poo poo :)<br /><br />Barbara, my friend, what wisdom in so few words.<br /><br />Henrietta, I never thought before about John's emphasis on that phrase, but how true!<br /><br />And as for how many of the same words -- hey, I didn't make up the rules for this. And I don't pretend to know that answer!Latayne C Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06133535124591010838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360410252358941163.post-90128237009528273102012-10-19T17:56:37.465-07:002012-10-19T17:56:37.465-07:00The Beloved Disciple apparently spent his latter y...The Beloved Disciple apparently spent his latter years saying, "Children, love one another." <br />If I said the same words over and over would that count to 1000 or do they have to be 1000 different words?Henrietta Frankenseenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360410252358941163.post-50637863262948254172012-10-19T10:01:57.791-07:002012-10-19T10:01:57.791-07:00I'd just say I love you to everyone.I'd just say I love you to everyone.Barbara's bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14789889855265665577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6360410252358941163.post-55333270745890834172012-10-19T06:44:35.382-07:002012-10-19T06:44:35.382-07:00Makes me think of Matthew 12:36, that says I'l...Makes me think of Matthew 12:36, that says I'll have to account on Judgment Day for every idle word I speak.

For those who talk too much, and thus use words in vain, perhaps a thousand word limit would open their eyes. On the other hand, the world suffers most from things left unsaid. A thousand word limit at the price of one's life would only exacerbate withdrawal in an effort at self-preservation. <br />You provoke deep thought. I like it.

I think that I would reserve my words for my husband and children. My primary ministry. Words of love and encouragement. I think I would write these words, so that they could keep them. <br /><br />I have had friends who lost parents early. And some of them struggled through life because of it. If I could ease that struggle with my words, it would be worth it.
