THE POWER OF ENCOURAGING WORDS

Today I was reminded of how an encouraging word can change the way you feel. After a particularly stressful day, I came home to find a card from my friend, Kim, who definitely has
the gift of encouragement! Her sweet words and the Scriptures she sent me were like a balm to my soul. Immediately tears sprang to my eyes as I realized how blessed I am. My precious Heavenly Father knew I would need a lift today, and in advance, laid my name on Kim's heart. Thank you, Kim, for being sensitive to the Holy Spirit and for being willing to share your gift with me! Most of all, thank you for this verse. I love you and miss you.

Psalm 57:1-2
Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in Thee; yea, in the shadow of Thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast. I will cry unto God most high; unto God that performeth ALL things for me!

HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD!

TEN THINGS I LOVE ABOUT PHIL

1. He is a man of integrity.

2. He was and is a great dad to our children.

3. He is the best Pappy. I get such joy out of watching him prepare for our grandchildren to
come visit. Is there anything the man won't buy?????

4. He shops more than me!! This is a good thing because???....what I buy pales in comparison!

5. He loves my mom. Phil has been such an amazing help to me while my mom has been sick.
He has even taken off work to take her to the doctor.

6. He washes my car for me!

7. He manages to hold down two jobs when the one I have exhausts me!!

8. He dresses better than me!!

9. He makes coffee every evening for me!

10. He loves me and has loved me faithfully for over 30 years!

P.S. Phil would like me to point out that he makes breakfast for me each Saturday.
Guess I need to amend my list to 11. I obviously forgot the modesty and humility characteristic!
