Tuesday Tidbit

Recently I had been having a issue with a close friend and after feeling bummed out about it for a while, I decided to address the issue. Well after addressing what I thought was a issue, I didn't get the kind of response I expected or desired. I can't blame the way I'm feeling on my friend or anyone else, I'm the only one who can control "my feelings". What matters most is that I remain a friend. Do you ladies remember the old saying "a friend in need is a friend in deed"? Well I found out that I was that friend in need and that Jesus is a friend to me ALWAYS and especially when I'm in need. I'm closing this tidbit with a youtube video post of praise and worship at my church and I've included the lyrics to the song. I also want to include that the young lady singing was my son Idris's third grade teacher. This is my shout out to Mrs. Caines on her teaching and singing abilities.



LYRICS
What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.
Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge; take it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In his arms he'll take and shield thee; thou wilt find a solace there.


Be blessed and encouraged today, it's a choice for us all. ~ Delphine
