The wisest of women builds her house, but folly with her own hands tears it down. Proverbs 14:1

Although this verse refers specifically to our homes, it is true in every situation; we can build up or tear down in our homes and families, at our jobs, in our churches, in our neighborhoods, etc.

In every interaction, in every conversation, in every action, we can build up through encouragement, praise, affirmation and support, or we can tear down through discouragement, gossip, unkindness and criticism.

Which do you choose today?

Blessings, Diane
