forever friends

ByBeth Ferguson

And friends are friends forever If the Lord’s the Lord of them …

I have always liked this song by Michael W. Smith. We’ve moved quite a bit in our married lives.  Not all friendships have survived the moves, but many have.  Those friendships are dear to my heart.  Today I am thankful for friends (and for the technology that allows me to connect to them easily!)

Proverbs says, “Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another!”  I’m grateful for friends who challenge me, support me, know me … and still love me!

The Mercies of God: Jonah

ByBeth Ferguson

In yesterday’s post about the mercies of God, I called attention to how God was merciful to a lawless and violent city. Typically when we read about Nineveh, we focus on Jonah’s journey of disobedience, obedience, and then anger. But I want to remind us that while there is much to learn from this story,…

The faithful love of the Lord never ends!    His mercies never cease.Great is his faithfulness;    his mercies begin afresh each morning. Lamentations 3:22-23 NLT More is written about Joseph than any other patriarch. His is an exciting story! I want to call attention to just a small part. You remember Joseph was his father’s favorite son and a rather…
