The words we use are powerful, having the ability either to devalue or value the work that folks are called to do.

Examples:

Devaluing: We need someone to babysit our kids in the nursery. [Relative value = minimum wage]

Valuing: We need someone who is gifted and called to invest in the lives of our kids [Relative value = priceless]

What do your words say about the value you place on someone’s service?

Do you tend to value or devalue your own service?
