"Pleasant words are a honeycomb..."

These past few days have been full of kind words...too kind!...from precious friends & family.
Monday I got to spend a couple of hours with my sis Rhonda...that was great! Then my sweet bro-n-law Mark took time out of his very busy day to reminisce about when he was first introduced to our family...I think I was 12! My has he seen some changes...for the good, I hope!

Tuesday I heard from Michelle Lofton Mangold who I grew up with and have always considered my sister! She is such a precious friend...you know the ones that, no matter how long it is between seeing or talking with them, you just pick right back up...a bond that is never broken:)

Wednesday, Michelle's mom "Miss Martha" called and started my day off with a smile! Mr. Fleet, Mrs. Martha, Michelle and Mike have always, and will always have a big chunk and special place in my heart! They have loved me through every season of my life...no matter what! Now, that is the true meaning of friendship.

Thursday on my way to see Sam and the Prep JV football team play at Parklane, I got a message for my "brother" Mike. Just to hear his voice makes me smile! He says we're going to get together soon...I sure hope so!

These conversations have caused me to reflect on scripture and how important kind words and actions can be to someone...always holding to truth, never wavering on that...but truth and love...always kind. These are the two scriptures that I want to share with you...

"Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones." Proverbs 16:24
"An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up." Proverbs 12:25
