I loved the dress that I bought at a flea market. It fit perfectly, and the skirt was a swirl of intricate pleats. I wore it confidently to an evening party and glowed when a woman exclaimed, “Oh, how stunning!”
Yes, I was grinning from ear to ear, until she added cheerfully, “Hang on to it, honey. Pleats will come back someday.”

Words can stab you like a sword. They can come out of nowhere when least expected and penetrate the soul. Always remember you are not the one wielding the sword, and the day will come when that person has to answer for what he or she did with the tongue.
Matthew 12:36
I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak,
Give it some thought.
