New and Old Friends

New and Old Friends By Kay Heitsch

Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver, and the other is gold. ~ Friendship Quotes ~

Yesterday, Bill and I attended a memorial gathering hosted by our longtime friend. It had been 59 years since Bill had seen Penney. It was wonderful to see her. I was able to give her a big hug. It had been a very long time since we had seen each other.

I love making new friends, and I have all along my life's journey. Every one of them has been very special to me. I cherish my old friends too. It made my heart happy to see Penney again.

Our Bible verse says. The sweet smell of incense can make you feel good, but true friendship is better still. Proverbs 27:9 CEV

There's something about true friendship. It sure makes us feel good.

Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver, and the other is gold.

We need to train our minds to look for the good. If we don't, negative thoughts will come racing in. We have a choice in how we choose to think. The happiness of our life depends on the quality of our thoughts.

Our Bible verse says. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. Colossians 3:2

We need to set our minds on things above, which will be positive, like faith, hope, peace, and joy, not on things like worry, stress, etc.

Always Pray

By Kay Heitsch

Prayer is the weapon! ~ Prayer Quotes ~

I have found that prayer is the weapon! It's interesting to see what happens when we are going through something. Many times, we do not feel like praying. Why is this? Because prayer is the weapon that will help us. Don't let your thoughts or anyone discourage you.

Our Bible verse says. Jesus told his disciples a story about how they should keep on praying and never give up: Luke 18:1

Jesus knew we would face times when we feel like giving up, but He said to keep praying and never give up!

Prayer is the weapon! Always pray!

I don't know about you, but I am pretty hard on myself. If I have a bad day, I struggle to be kind to myself. I like how this quote says to give yourself credit for everything you do right. Good advice!

We can always go to the LORD when we are tired and feel stressed by things we are going through. He will give us the rest we need.

Words

By Kay Heitsch

Critical words cut like a knife. And sarcasm is the same knife with a pearl handle. ~ Words Quotes ~

Our words are very important. Saying words that are hurtful to another person is as bad as cutting them with a knife. Some people think sarcasm is cute, but it's not! It's the same knife but with a pearl handle.

Our Bible verse says. Thoughtless words can wound as deeply as any sword, but wisely spoken words can heal. Proverbs 12:18

This is so true. Thoughtless words can cut as deeply as a sword. But wise words can bring healing. Choose your words wisely.

Critical words cut like a knife. And sarcasm is the same knife with a pearl handle.

It doesn't matter what is going on in our lives or in this world; God is greater than all of it! He will see us through anything.

Our Bible verse says. “Look, God is greater than we can understand. His years cannot be counted." Job 36:26 NLT
