"We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they are good for us - they help us learn to be patient. And patience develops strength of character in us and helps us trust God more each time we use it until finally our hope and faith are strong and steady. Then, when that happens, we are able to hold our heads high no matter what happens and know that all is well, for we know how dearly God loves us, and we feel this warm love everywhere within us because God has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with His love." 

"Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the mind and healing to the body."

"Defend the weak and the orphans; defend the rights of the poor and suffering." 
~ Psalm 82:3 NCV

My first day of being Lady Liberty for Liberty Tax Service was Feb. 21st
and my last was April. 17th
. . . shortly after my beginning I was standing
there listening
to an individual from the area talking about my neighborhood & the individuals who live or pass
through it . . . as he was talking I began to think "mmmm, everyone has a story to tell." and within a milia second of this thought I heard inside myself the following: " . . . but their favorite story to tell is someone elses."
Now ain't that the truth! 
God, is there someone You want me to help today? Please bring them to my mind and show me how to love them as You would. Amen 
Until next time . . . 
When it's all said and done, the best story we can tell about ourselves is one of our God's loving kindness and mercy. I have nothing to boast of myself, but plenty to boast of when it comes to the love of our Father and his only son Jesus.

. . . I have more difficulty thou if I am hearing something about an individual who I am not too fond off, seems my ears want to perk up & my feet want to move a little closer to the conversation
. . but I am learning, I am learning & changing
