Hi Everybody!
(((HUGS)))
Hi!
Bible in a Year:
Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
A recent study has shown that encouraging words from a health-care provider can help patients recuperate faster from their ailments. A simple experiment exposed volunteer study participants to a skin allergen to make them itch and then compared the reactions between those who received assurance from their physician and those who didn’t. Patients who received encouragement from their doctors had less discomfort and itching than their counterparts.
The writer of Proverbs knew how important encouraging words are. “Gracious words” bring “healing to the bones,” he wrote (Proverbs 16:24). The positive effect of words isn’t limited to our health: when we heed the wisdom of instruction, we’re also more likely to prosper in our efforts (v. 20). So too encouragement buoys us for the challenges we face now and may encounter in the future.
We may not yet fully understand why or even how much wisdom and encouragement bring strength and healing to our daily lives. Yet the cheers and guidance of our parents, coaches, and colleagues seem to help us endure difficulty and steer us toward success. Similarly, the Bible brings us encouragement when we face trials, equipping us to bear up under even the most unthinkable circumstances. Help us, God, to be strengthened by Your wisdom and to, in turn, offer the healing and hope of “gracious words” to those You’ve placed in our lives.
Who has spoken “gracious words” into your life? Why is it vital for you to share words of encouragement with others?
Dear Father, thank You for Your words of healing and hope.
Semper Fi!....and keep your powder dry!
Howdy everyone!
Still at work, gonna try and wrap up and get back here soon.
Have a wonderful Tuesday!
*HUGS*
Short sleeve shirts, it must be warm there. It is snowing here and supposed to be 4 degrees tonight. Keep your bat virus mask high and tight.
You have a great Tuesday too...and a wonderful week!
Greetings to all at the Canteen!
To all our military men and women, past and present,
Hilarious when squids would jump the wall at NTC and find themselves there!
I worked right across there on pacific coast highway.
Howdy, radu! Hope all is well there and you didnt blow away overnight.
Howdy, LUV.
Everything’s still standing, fortunately. The wind got really bad AFTER the storms had passed and the howling freaked me and the acts out. I stepped outside for a couple of minutes and was almost knocked down a couple of times. LOL
After about a half hour things calmed down again. We’d had wind all day as thunderstorms rolled through one after another but nothing like we had early this morning. It was insane.
I feel bad for all the folks who were caught up in the tornados that ripped through the south yesterday.
Howdy, PRO.
Did you have a good weekend? Get to spend some time being entertained by the lil wild man?
That is intense! I’m glad the high winds didn’t last long or you might have lost some trees! And then...MORE rain?? Like you needed it. LOL!
