Speak Your Mind.

Reading Scriptures about friendship. Thought you might like to read a few:


Proverbs 18:24 - A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.

Proverbs 17:17 - A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
(this one reminds me of the old adage... "you can pick your friends, not your family,,.)

Proverbs 27:6 - Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

(and the best of all)

John 15:13 - Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

“The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.”
Proverbs 18:10 (KJV)

From the desk of the Wee Elephant:


BREAKING NOW:

Unemployment explodes! Due to the Catch and Release Program of the Biden Administration concerning illegal
immigrants entering across our Southern Border; coyotes (people who guide illegals across our border for money)
are finding themselves without customers. I mean, who needs to pay a coyote hundreds, or even thousands of
dollars when you can just walk across without fear of punishment?

One Source (who wishes to not be named) states that more than 1,000 coyote's have lost their jobs in the past two
months, and have filed for unemployment benefits with the Biden Administration,

Hey, I just report, you decide

“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”
Philippians 4:6 (KJV)

1 Thessalonians 5:18, NIV give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Habakkuk 3:17-19, NIV Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior. The Sovereign Lord is my strength; he makes my feet like the feet of a deer, he enables me to tread on the heights.

Acts 16:25-26, NIV About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everyone’s chains came loose.

Happy New Year!

and to you, peanut! ♥

I've been a Christ follower for over 40yrs & been thru lots of ups & downs with churches & religion. I'm finally connected to a church that focuses more on relationship vs religion. They also make fellowship & community a high priority plus serving & going... I'm excited & happy serving the Lord now. I believe there is a new "Jesus Revolution " going on now.

Some may remind us of our past sin.
But we are to
forget and despise the shame.

Hebrews 12:1-3 KJV
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

[2] Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;
who for the joy that was set before him
endured the cross,
despising the shame,
and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

[3] For consider him that
endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

Isaiah 54:4 KJV
Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for
thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth,
and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.

“The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.”
Nahum 1:7 (KJV)

1 Corinthians 8:3) but if anyone loves God, he is known by Him.

Jeremiah 1:5) “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
And before you were born I consecrated you;
I have appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

ISAIAH 31:4)
For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.

Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3:

1To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
