That You Can’t Afford To Miss:
A Good Description
BY MATTIE ANN CALLIER-SPEARS
“ Back and forth, back and forth” ,
arc the words one uses, typically, to
describe the movement o f a swing
"... Long, flowingornatcanddelicatcly
b e a u tifu l” , are
words which can be
used to describe: a
wedding dress, a
flower, a literary
piece, a woman’s
hair; and, even a
precious stone.
When describ
ing something or
someone, weuscstrongorwcak, nega
tive or positive adjectives to express
what our eyes sec or what our intellect
secs or what our heart secs I f a person
is able to combine all three methods,
fo r viewing, (the eyes, the intellect
and the heart), the listener w ill receive
a parallel visual o f the subject matter.
When we describe someone, we
m orc-than-likcly w ill use our eyes and
hearts. We sec w ith our eves and speak
from our hearts. Right? Think about
it!
You go to the store and you run
into Sally. You speak to her and you
continue your shopping; or, maybe
you’ re on your way out. You arrive at
home. You can’t wait to put your
packages down so that you can pick up
the phone to call Linda. Examine this
conversation.
“ Linda! G irl! You should have
seen Sally in the store-a few minutes
ago. She looked like something the
cats dragged home. Linda! What could
be wrong w ith her? She never used to
keep herself looking like that! O ’ my
goodness gracious!.... ” and-the con
versation continues in the same tone.
Can you sec yourself in this sce
nario?
I can remember my mother and
my grandm other saying, “ I f you
ca n ’ t say a n y th in g good about
someone, d o n ’ t say a nyth in g at
a ll.” A n d - I do believe that it fits
this situation to-a-tec. So often, we
choose to find fault and poke-fun at
someone instead o f giving them a

hurts to have negative words hurled at
you by your peers. M y sister and broth
ers got into a-many fights defending
me And guess who got sent home and/
or suspended from school? The Callier
kids.
Negative words can cause irrepa
rable damage. And unlike the written
word, the spoken w ord cannot be erased.
I tried everything to please my so-
called friends. M aking good grades
didn’teven help. The “ names” contin
ued and just became unbearable. M y
mother made me pretty dresses and
fixed my hair more attractively to help
give my self-esteem a boost; but, they
found fault in that, too
I cried a lot.
However, i f it had not been for my
mother’ s constant re-assurance; her
telling me that I was pretty; her telling
me to not pay any attention to what the
kids said and just continue to study
hard because maybe they were jealous
o f me getting good grades; pray for the
kids; her telling me that Jesus loved me
and my Mommic and Daddy loved me
too-1 don’t know where I would be
today. M other would say, “ D on’t make
fun o f anyone because you wouldn’t
want anyone to make fun o f you.” I
remembered these things and when I
got married and had children, o f my
own, I told them the same things.
Passing on positive examples, not
negative ones.
I can understand the reasons why
these young kids, on the street, have so
many problems and why there seems to
be no way out for them. It is because-
-the parents need to give good nurtur
ing to their children. Parents need to
correct their children when they are
w rong-but, parents should be quick to
tell their children when they have done
a good job. Everyone needs a good pat
on the back. I f parents want good to
come out, they must put good in. Name
calling children grow up to be name
calling adults. As Christian believers,
we should bless those who speak wrong
fu lly about us. Overcome evil w ith
good Not evil for evil. [Matthew 12:14-
21]

helping hand, a warm hug, a generous
smile or holding their hands and lift
ing them up in prayer. There are many
other positive alternatives from which
to choose Y c t- t he general choice is to
sit idly by and make
n egative
com
ments.
N e x t--le t us
consider how we
speak to our c h il
dren. Constantly!
You hear and read
how children have
such low self-es
teem. How the children are so down on
themselves. How our young children
arc c o m m ittin g suicide, ru n n in g
around w ith gangs or doing something
outrageous w ith their hair or w ith their
clothing -ju st to please or get some
accolades from anywhere anybody.
Ninc-times-out-of-ten,thesechil-
dren are constantly being bombarded
a, home by their parents or by other
siblings and are being made to feel
inferior by the use o f negative words.
“ You can’ t do anything rig h t!” , a
parent scolds.
“ Get our o f my face you fat, ugly
freak!” , a sister rudely shouts.
We waste so much time and en
ergy doing and saying negative things
until when the time comes to do some
thing on the positive side, we literally
runoutofthingstosay. Why is that so?
The scriptures have an answer for
everything. Even this. You see—i f the
heart is wicked, wicked stuff comes
out o f your mouth Whatever comes
out o f your mouth is what you have
stored-up in your heart. [M atthew
15:17-20]
