Matthew 15:21-28

Thoughts: William Wordsworth’s poetry tended to be lengthy and sometimes verbose.  Detractors gave him an unkind nickname.  They called him Wordswords.
Most people could not quote a line of Wordsworth’s poetry.  Most people could quote a line – or many – of Emily Dickinson’s poetry.  She used words sparingly and exquisitely.
                              “I never spoke with God,
                                Nor visited in heaven;
                                Yet certain am I of the spot
                                As if the chart were given.” 
Discussion:  What careless remark that you heard years ago do you still remember?
Activity: Remember that some words you say today could warm someone’s heart.
