Avoiding Toxic Talk at Thanksgiving - The Crosswalk Devotional - November 27

Each time we are tempted to say something at Thanksgiving or at any event, we need to run our words or comments through Ephesians 4:29. If they are not in agreement with God's Word, then we need to refrain from saying them.

Avoiding Toxic Talk at Thanksgiving By Vivian Bricker Bible Reading "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen" (Ephesians 4:29). Thanksgiving is known to be a holiday where food is a major theme. We meet together with family and friends to enjoy each other's company and have a nice, homemade meal. Unfortunately, due to the prevalent diet culture in the world today, it is not hard to hear a family member comment on our food choices, our weight loss, or our weight gain. Any of these comments have the capacity to ruin our holiday.  Sadly, there is almost always one family member who will be problematic and extremely engulfed in diet culture. As someone who has recovered from anorexia nervosa, I can share with you that holiday functions are terribly difficult.

Whether it is in a positive way or not, it is hurtful.    CONTINUE READING →
