In Praise Of My Friend

Today I had the opportunity to spend the day with a dear friend while getting ready for our church yard sale.  I love days such as this, when I get a chance to share my heart with a more seasoned christian!  I could not begin to explain how these moments fill my cup.  This particular woman just always seems to know what I need to hear to settle my worries and calm my fears.  Seeking sound advice and direction from an older woman of the church is something that I have found to be such a great blessing in my life.  I would encourage other woman to do the same, as it can be a tremendous benifit to you as well.  This simple act of friendship is more valuable to me than she could possibly ever understand.  A woman who is always putting herself last and the needs of others before her own.  I can only hope to be as good a role model as she is someday.

I read something not that long ago that reminds me of her...thought I would share so others can apply it to their lives as well.


The Meaning Of JOY:

Jesus comes first!  Put Him first in all you do.
Others second!  The bible tells us that we are to put others needs before our own.
and finally...
Yourself last!

Matthew 25:21  "The master was full of praise.  "Well done, my good and faithful servant.  You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities.  Let's celebrate together!
