pleasantly surprised

What do people get when you open your mouth? Are they hurt? Wounded? Demeaned? Or are they blessed.

I have noticed of late that some folks are so used to being kicked that when you are nice to them, they are pleasantly surprised. Like a dog that has been beaten for so long, they aren't sure at first what to expect from you, but they sure do like the back scratching.

Can you, can I deliver a pleasant surprise today to someone, simply by the words that come from our mouth? They are waiting for a good word, and we are just the ones to bring them.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to say the good.

Right to the point. Especially in the hostile, angry world we live in. Kindness is so refreshing.
