Sugar-coated

My son had several parties this last weekend. After the weekend, I weighed his candy loot...2 pounds worth of delicious sweetness.

What if life were as sugar-coated? We just can't eat candy all day, each day! Just like our heart, teeth and health would suffer so it is with how we talk. Hearing the truth (with kindness) can teach us, grow us and helps as we relate to others.

I could never eat 2 pounds of candy...and neither will my son...and that statement can not be sugar-coated!

Oh, I could definitely eat 2 pounds of candy!! That is - if I were allowed to have sugar at all... I'll just drool from this side of the computer. :-)

Gelch! All that candy. It would be good at the moment, only to wreck your teeth and stomach. Same with life. What goes down easy doesn't always do us good in the end.
