Refreshed

 

     May we be refreshed in our spirits this week, as we fill up with God’s word and await a revival, a renewal and revelation for our weary souls.  I had the opportunity to get together with six of my good friends from high school last week. Such a treat to reconnect, to reminisce about our crazy days and to catch up.

     It was a time of refreshing for us all, as we were reminded of the passing of time. 50 years since our graduation. Unfathomable! We have all lived through much, some with health crises , others with tragic loss of loved ones. We laughed and we cried and we were blessed.

Rejoice with those who rejoice. Mourn with those who mourn. Romans 12:15

     How wonderful to walk through life with caring friends and family. We need to count our blessings each and every day we have on this short journey on earth. Some days are too difficult and we need each other. Some days are so filled with joy we can’t help but share.

The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense. Proverbs 27:9

The generous will prosper. Those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. Proverbs 11:26

     When you need an encouraging word, reach out. Refresh others when they need comfort. We are in this together.

Lord,

Thank You for our loved ones, our family and friends. Thank You for times of refreshing and renewal. We need each other.

In Jesus name,

Amen
