In the busyness of life, as we rush to meet our family's basic needs, we can be tempted to

neglect a deeper need. Here's Nancy DeMoss-Walgamuth. You may be giving your husband,

your children, basic things like meals and clothes, and you bless your family in those ways.

But are you neglecting something that could be a priceless, precious gift?

And that's looking for everyday ways and opportunities to invest words of blessing.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, author of Choosing Gratitude for April 10th, 2020.

I'm Dana Gresh.

How have you been spending your time, sheltering at home? More Netflix than usual? More time on

Instagram or Pinterest? Or how about this? Have you taken advantage of more talking time with your

child or husband? Sometimes it can be awkward to go deeper in conversation, but what if your child

is ready to listen? What if your spouse needs some encouragement right now? Today, Nancy is

finishing the series, overcoming the curse of words. Here she is to talk about what happens

when we prioritize blessing others.

We talked in the last session about resolving to speak blessing into the lives of others.

And there is something very, very powerful about speaking words of blessing into the lives of your children,

your mate, your friends, fellow church members, your pastor,

your co-workers. When we speak, there's power in those words. We've talked a lot in this

series about the power of cursing and how many of our lives have been wounded, discouraged,

how some of us spent years trying to overcome the negative power of words

as others have spoken words of cursing into our lives. We've been talking about how to break

the power of cursing in our lives. And one way we do that is by breaking that cycle

and turning around and speaking blessing into the lives of others.
