The English Language
A friend sent the above image to me today and I laughed myself to
tears. If English is your first language, as it is mine, you probably don’t
think too much of it. But you have to admit, especially after reading this …
our language IS pretty crazy. Kudos to anyone who learns it as a second
language. I know I wouldn’t want that challenge.
So on this note, my guest blog for today is more of a
suggestion…
Be patient with anyone whose first language is not English.
Whether it’s a verbal interaction or a written one – if they’re struggling with
it – think of this blog and be considerate. God created so many languages for
His people, and for the most part we’ve learned to communicate with each other
pretty well. Sometimes I think He did this to challenge us, and maybe to test
us a little … our compassion, our kindness, our tolerance.
"Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the
blind can read." ~ Mark Twain
Be blessed, y’all.
