Glorious Words
Words hold the key to the world around us. If you don't believe me read the life story of Helen Keller. It was not until Anne Sullivan gave Helen the gift of words that she began to make sense of the dark silent world around her.
Words can make us happy, sad, angry or scared.
When was the last time you had a fight or made-up again without using words?
When was the last time you told a joke without words?
Words are the way we communicate and how we have FUN!
Here are some fantastic words. Try saying them out loud, use them in a sentence or just say them over and over. See if they don't make you smile.
