EDGY OR SMOOTH
Why do some rocks
have a rough edge?
Why are some stones
round and smooth?
We can also ask the same
questions of wood and metal.
Come to think about it, we can
ask the same question of words.
We need to pause and look at
our words before we throw them.
We need to hear Jesus’ words, “Let
the one without sin cast the first stone."
Better: the word made flesh
needs to dwell within us.
If we treat and see each other with love,
isn’t that how our words become smooth?
