PITHY WITH A "WORDSMITH" PUNCH

I don't even know who Scotty is....only that he's a wordsmith friend of my friend, Doris.

Anyone who can use poetry, metaphor and simile along with astonish, flourish and nourish in two sentences to expound Psalm 63:2, is a WORDSMITH in all caps.

So glad to meet you Scotty. Thanks Doris for the introduction of your "pithy with a punch" friend. 

May we all flourish as God's Word nourishes us today!

F.R.O.G. FOCUS WITH FEELING!

I was going to save this "focus" entry for a Friday but God has me meditating on the these 4 words this morning!

Maybe it's because as I've been sharing this declarative statement with others, I realized how much I also need the reminder. "With God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:26)

Reliance requires Trust!

F.R.O.G. 

Fully rely on God. Full stop. Period. 

Nothing else needed forever.

Hmmmm----

Maybe it's an IMPERATIVE! Completely necessary.

Hmmmmm---or exclamatory because it certainly reflects my feelings as I meditate this Monday.

FULLY RELYING ON GOD FOREVER IS CERTAINLY COMPLETELY NECESSARY IN A CHRISTIAN'S LIFE! 

I know it; I can feel it in my heart!

MY CUP OF TEA

MY CUP OF TEA. A great idiom first used in Britain, of course. It's a an expression that typically presents a figurative, non-literal meaning.  If "My cup of tea" is representative of a negative it is preceded by not. As a positive "my cup of tea is indicative of one's preference, penchant, or propensity,

Of course when "not" precedes my cup of tea with a negative connotation, not my cup of tea seems a gentler way of expressing one's preference without the use of harsh or critical words.

MY CUPPA TEA---synonyms = affinity, choice/taste, druthers, orientation or preference,  

Even if something might not be your cup of tea, as a personal opinion , one can strive for unity over  any differences which are not areas of biblical perspicuity. Political parties. Pandemic protocol. Vaxx. Those are all negotiable.

• A gentle word turns away wrath but a harsh word stirs up anger. (Proverbs. 15:1) 
• Gentle words bring life and health.(not volume of one's voice or snide comments, DAL). perverseness breaks the spirit. (Proverbs. 15:4) 
• Gracious (kind) words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.  (Proverbs. 16:24, NIV)

Get together for a cuppa tea and discuss your differing cups of tea....or just agree to disagree in love.
