To Friends!

Here's to good friends!
To seemingly bad friends!
To loud friends and silent friends
To friends whose laughter drive away sorrow
And friends whose presence drive loneliness back into the shadows
Friends radiating sunshine on cold winter days
A cup of Coffee (scratch that, Tea), conversation, a burden shared.

For friends who don't judge but listen and lend a helping hand.
In the midst of the "I told you so's" is  a shoulder I know I can always lean on
A kind word, a thoughtful prayer, a smile, an embrace,
Food! oh yes food!
The joys of sharing and caring for each other.

Happy chatter, soulful moments
Tears shared, words said,
Today, tomorrow, forever
I know I have a friend in you
For this honour and privilege,
I am truly grateful!

Michael W. Smith - Friends

"And blessed  is  she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord." Luke 1:45 (KJV) "Now therefore, O LORD God, the word that You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house, confirm it forever and do as You have spoken," 2 Samuel 7:25 (NASB) Has the Lord given you a word?  Has it been fulfilled?  Hold on to His word in faith until it is fulfilled.  Give Him praise for fulling his word in your life. Be thankful and bless his name until you see it come to pass.  Mary heard the angel speak to her and he informed her of things to come. She believed, and there was a performance of the words that were spoken. David heard the words of God spoken to him through God's prophet and revealed to him by prophecy. He believed and prayed for its fulfillment.  Many times we receive a word from God, through revelation or through prophecy. What do we do with these words? Let's hold on t...

Song Alert: Kind - Amanda Cook

"For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly." (Psalm 84:11) "The LORD is gracious and merciful; Slow to anger and great in lovingkindness." (Psalm 145:8) NASB "The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy." (Psalm 103:8) "Then the LORD passed by in front of him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth;" (Exodus 34:6) I've been thinking for a few years about doing blog posts on songs that I'm listening to at a particular time; songs that have ministered to me in a particular season and helped me walk through some though times - but it's just been a thought.  Today, I decided to start that first blog post on these songs. For lack of creativity or bursting ingenuity, I'll call these posts 'Song Alert'. So to...
