The Fragrance of a Friend

and a treasured friend who didn’t just give me a bouquet from her garden but dug up a bush so we could replant it in our yard and enjoy the beauty and fragrance for perhaps years to come.

I am thankful.

Proverbs 17:17 A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.  source 

There’s much more wisdom found at Proverbs 17 if you please. 

Day 28

Day 28 of The Giving of Thanks

Laughter.
It’s a good gift and if you are blessed to live with people who give you reasons to laugh out loud each day, you are doubly blessed.  JT does that for me. 
Wait. Wasn’t there a song about that?
God has been doubly good to you? 
I’ve got to look that up.
Found it!
And yes, HE has been doubly good to me!

Proverbs 17:22  (NKJV) 22 A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones. source

Day 13

Day 13 of The Giving of Thanks.

A Fireplace. 
I’m giving thanks for a fireplace that never worked properly and now ceases to work at all, for a fire that is. However, it is excellent at housing candles and treasures. The treasures of a little boy, just over 2 wonderful years of age. Little Man thrills to pull aside the curtain and hid plastic eggs. I leave them there. 
Yes. This no longer wood-burning fireplace brings me many smiles and warms my heart. 

Matthew 6:21 (NKJV)  21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. source

Proverbs 2:7 (NLT) He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity. source

2 Corinthians 4:7 (TLV) But we have this treasure in jars of clay, so that the surpassing greatness of the power may be from God and not from ourselves. source
