Hi, I am Jackie McGemsey and I'm Isaac McGemsey and we are Marriage360, a total view of marriage. And we're joining you live today with a devotion from FaithBase. And we're talking about communication. How do we communicate? You know, we all have to communicate. It's a daily part of life. And the way that we do that is most important because we're putting ourselves out to other people. So Isaac, I got a question for you today. All right. Have you ever seen miscommunication? Most definitely. You know, I think about a time when I was in college and I was working at this warehouse and at that warehouse, the tone was so sharp that people were talking at each other. It was very judgmental. It was very high spirited. There was so much communication. There was so much conflict because none of the conversation was gracious. So that brings us to our scripture today, which is Colossians 4, 6, let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone. You know, we deal with so many couples. It's what we do on a day to day basis. And our number one thing we talk to them about is communicating with one another. You know, my grandmother lived, my grandmother and grandfather were married 60 plus years and they lived well into the 80s. And you know, the one thing that she would always tell us was to be sweet no matter what. You got to be sweet, sweetie. Don't be rude. Don't be cutting your husband off. Be sweet. Treat him like you want to be treated. So in saying that, we're talking about in back, going back to Colossians, it says that your conversation be gracious and seasoned. When I think about season, I think about cooking, you know, we're going to kitchen and we're going to cook up a pot of spaghetti. You know, we might add a little salt, a little bit more salt, add a little pepper. You know, now the cool thing is to put a little bit of spice in there to give it that little kick, you know? So when we do that, think about that when you're having conversations with people, whether no one, it doesn't matter who you're talking to. You want to have a lot of salt because that's the love, that's the positivity. A little pepper might sting a little bit and a very little bit of cayenne or the spice that you want. Because what you want, you want people to walk away feeling respected and feeling like they matter. What do you think? Yeah, most definitely. We want to make sure that every conversation we have with everyone, not just some people, not just with our family, but that it's attractive and gracious so that it draws everyone. Truly this scripture stands out that we should be gracious with everyone. So if you didn't get anything out of the day, remember Colossians four and six, be gracious and attractive. And Ms. Willie McGee says to be sweet. We thank you for joining us. Wait, I'm hungry. Okay, I'll be talking about seasoning. Yeah, all this seasoning and talk about food. I think I'm hungry, but let's go get something to eat. Let's do that. Hey, thank you guys for joining us for this episode of Faith Based. We'll see you next time.
