Eulogy

By Rev. Jeremiah Cheung

The word ‘eulogy’ comes from the Greek words ‘eu’ which means good, and ‘logy’ meaning words. Eulogy means good words.

Let us stop speaking toxic words and begin to speak words which bless other people, words that build them up.

What are good words then? Let me suggest six types of good words we can learn to speak:

1. Appreciation
To express the good things you know about a person.

2. Acceptance
To let others know you accept them, even admire them.

3. Approval
To say “Okay, go ahead.”

4. Affection
To communicate your love so others may know.

5. Affirmation
To encourage someone by confirming that their actions/words/thoughts are good.

6. Admiration
To give others the praise that is due them.

Put It Into Practice

1. Say it in person

2. Send a message

3. Call
