Some People Never Change

I have a friend in my life who never seems to change. That's a "good" thing. My friend has adapted to many "new" normals in the last several years. And in the face of adversity or uncertainty, she has never stopped being a faithful, thoughtful, creative, sacrificial, generous, spontaneous, fun loving (I could go on) kind of friend. Tonight I was the recipient of her "deliciously" spontaneous/generous/creative friendship.
Yay, for Sailor Jacks!

Thank you Mary for remaining steadfast in your friendships, for never changing. I can always count on you to bring a smile and a good word into my life. Now I even have a new favorite recipe! Kiss the cook!

Change is good...but sometimes it's good not to.


Psalm 112:7... [her] heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.

I Can Do That

Today, in an effort to find some words of encouragement for a friend, I stumbled upon something that seemed timely for me as well.

"Often work, family responsibilities, and leisure activities so consume every moment that we become overly exhausted, and we miss our quiet time. Make a commitment to change your schedule". ~ Sheila Cragg

"Make a commitment to change your schedule". I can do that.


"Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord; O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy. If you, O Lord, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared. I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning. O Isreal (Jaynee), put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love and with him is full redemption. He himself will redeem Isreal (me) from all their(my) sins.
Psalm 130 (a song of ascents)


Change is good.
