I See Good People #2

Thank you to all those who are sharing your inspirational thoughts and spreading cheerfulness.  You’re lighting up social media (Matt. 5:16)!  Here’s just a glimpse of some of the good stuff going around:

–Mandy Liddell posted this poem.  I need to memorize it!

“Dear Lord, may I ever refrain
From speaking ill of others;
May I have kindly thoughts, as well,
For all my earthly brothers!
May I, dear Heavenly Father,
Radiate pure love for all…
May I see good in everyone;
May I pray for those in woe…
If I can do these things, O Lord,
While I am here on this earth,
I’ll feel my life’s not been in vain—
That I was blessed at my birth!”
~Gertrude Tooley Buckingham

-In the past three days, I’ve been excited to read three new blogs by young Christians.  I thank God for their desire to encourage others and share God’s Word.  Let’s encourage them, too, by supporting their efforts.

• “The Daily Dale” by Dale Pollard
• “Out of This World” by Katlyn Vanderwende
• “Balanced Basics” by Gary Pollard

-For something fun, girly, and helpful, check out this new planner by Virtuous Magazine:

• “Style Your Soul Planner“

-Sometimes I read something and know the thoughts will stay with me for days.  Such was the case with these words by the brilliant mind of Cindy Colley:

• “I Was Lying on the Side of the Road“

-Recent terrific tweets:

• @Gospel Advocate-  “Jesus viewed the 39 OT books as inspired by God and devoted Himself to studying them. Should we do any less?“
• @Stan Butt– “If anyone ever tells you, “It’s okay to be selfish,” they don’t know what they’re talking about.”
• @Kevin W. Rhodes– “When people do not see the good in life, it is because they first fail to see the God of life.”
• And just for grins….@Tim Hawkins– “Conversation heard:

‘Grandpa, did you ever work out?’

‘No.’

‘Why?’

‘Because I was out working.'”

-Hugo McCord quote posted by Jared Jackson:

“When two people disagree on the interpretation of a Bible passage, one or both are wrong … but the Bible is always right.”

-Looking for some yummy recipes?  Check out the lovely Chelli Guthrie‘s blog, “The Planted Trees.“

Prayer for Today:  Bless these good people, Lord, as they continue to brighten the lives of others!
