SATURDAY SALVE!

A Saturday salve to soothe the soul.

A timely surprise! A kind, tenderhearted gift. (Ephesians 4:32a)

Easily seen from my prayer chair! .

Beautiful from any view!

A smiling bouquet!

A remedy. Think offering sustaining strength as I pray for others! 

Soul soothing!

CHOOSE: SQUARE ONE

In order not to choose shattered as my word, with my recent calamity, I had to return to the basics of truth. 

Relationships are more important than things. Yet....when the "thing" reminds you of a very special relationship, sometimes it's hard not to "feel shattered."

But God.....reminded me that when the pieces are swept up, the friendship remains, sometimes stronger than ever.

A man who has friends must himself be friendly,But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. (Proverbs 18:24, NKJV)

This friendship has never failed because we are bound in fellowship by the One who is the ultimate Friend.

That's why I can choose to get back to square one. 

A Cuppa Acceptance....

For every season there is a time for every activity under heaven.....a time to cry and a time to laugh, a time to grieve and a time to dance....(Ecclesiastes 3:1-4)

Laughter can be the best medicine. It's good for the soul. Often just what the soul needs---a little levity in the midst of life struggles.

A cheerful heart brings good healing---so needed by one who is crushed in spirit. The human spirit can endure in sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear? (Proverbs 18:14)

The perfect "happy" from Wynellen. A brisk cuppa with an apropos quote. 

The need for a merry heart must be a universal need as it is mentioned twice in Proverbs.
A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. (Proverbs 15:13)  A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.(Proverbs 17:22) 

The cup says it all. Sometimes we just need to accept life just as it is, with all its struggles.......and laugh---AND....it's much more fun to laugh with a dear friend!
