Prayerfully posting ! Tender Tweeting, How should we speak to one another in social media? Choosing our written and spoken words wisely and thoughtfully





Dear Family of Love and Pilgrims on our Journey,

Today I was on Facebook and saw someone post a few questions about another person who could see the posting and the questions. This is never a good practice. We all need to prayerfully post and be tender in our tweeting and be thoughtful in the ways we communicate in and on social media venues.
How should we speak to one another in social media?

Respectfully
Lovingly
Thoughtfully
Kindly
No going behind or in front of one's backs. We here at Walk With Me On Our Journey are Family Members not Trolls or Haters. 
Taking time to ask yourself what you are posting and will the other person see it?
Don't forget that other family members may see what you post about another family member and may ask the family member questions they haven't any clue about.
Let us use our heads and hearts when we Post and Tweet !
 If you have questions about someone Direct Message on Twitter or PM on Facebook!
Go to the person first when you want to know something not a 2nd or 3rd party.

Tonight let us meditate on how we can speak and communicate with  one another thoughtfully and  lovingly outside and inside social media.


A few musical reminders of how we must do this:

God we pray that we may use our words lovingly, for the benefit of others, and as voices for the voiceless.

God we pray that we may use our words to help soothe, comfort,and encourage our family members who are ill, alone, and marginalized.

God we pray that we may use or words gently as we say goodbye to our loved ones who are transitioning or are in comas.

God we pray that we may choose our words rightly when we are upset and angry.

God we pray that we may choose our words with grace with our family members who differ from us.

God we pray that we may choose our words not to hate but to heal.

God we pray that we may choose our words with eloquence when we need to speak and write to our elected and world officials.

God we pray that we may choose our words as we pray with love, mercy, hope, and peace.

God we add our thanksgivings in words silently or aloud___________________
