Did you know...?

 Did you know that  every word has many meanings?

Some believe a word may have more than 70  meanings. Wow! I had no idea. What I know is that Words have power. They have  the power to make us love or hate; make us do or don’t do something; and even  make us change our mind or feelings about something or someone.

Words are  powerful when they touch the heart. Words help us communicate our feelings, our  thoughts, and our needs. In the dictionary we may find several meanings for one  word. To understand the true meaning of a word in a certain context we need to know the history of that word; and the culture of the region where the word is being used.

We all know that sometimes our busy days keep us away from the reality of our diversity and of our surroundings. So very often, in many cultures, people pass by each other without ever thinking to be of service to a fellowman/woman that may  be in a special-need situation. But, when we do pay attention and do something about it we feel great!  After reading this:
