So many different faces We’ve worn throughout the years Sifting through relationships Victories and tears We traveled down different roads At times they would converge Some broken hearts would drift apart While other friendships merge At times the journey takes its toll Alone we seek our rest That’s when you took me as your guest And friendship was expressed And yet the road continued on And we both sought our ways Chasing dreams and finding things That soon took up our days But through the clutter and the crowds Frantic to keep pace Across the hectic miles and days You gave me your embrace Sometimes broken and alone I clutched a simple truth That through it all, if should I fall I had a friend in you Your modest words dust me off And set me on my feet Without pretense give me the sense To push away defeat And while the distance still exists Somehow at times you’re near Stepping in now and again To lead me through my fears Now through the screaming, silent nights When sleep cannot be found I find a way through the fray To climb to higher ground For in the shadows of my life A distant mountain shines Found so many years ago This quiet friend of mine Meditation: “A friend loves at

James 4:14 Yet you do not know [the least thing] about what may happen in your life tomorrow. [What is secure in your life?] You are merely a vapor [like a puff of smoke or a wisp of steam from a cooking pot] that is visible for a little while and then vanishes [into thin air]. Yes this is in the bible; I’ve read it many times and I was told by so many older people when I was young how quick it will all flash by and then poof, I will cease to exist. I can attest to this. I was once a young boy building forts in the woods and riding my bike and I blinked. I was suddenly driving and working my business mowing 10-12 hrs a day. I blinked again and I was married with a baby daughter. I blinked again and I was at my wife’s graveside. One more blink and I’m 59. I’m that old bastard that I used to bitch about in front of me. As seasons go, I’m suddenly in the fall of my life. I don’t know how it happened nor do I remember getting here but holy crap, here I am; Bam it happened. This whole short journey has taught me a few things we should all think about: Don’t

People always come into your life for a reason, a season and a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, or to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or even spiritually. They may seem like a godsend to you, and they are. They are there for a reason, you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die, Sometimes they just walk away. Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on. When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done.

Have you ever thought what is this job of mine? Do things always appear as defined? So why do we waste time to twine? Let us spend time to make others shine!!! You just know the date of your arrival, But don’t know till what date will be your survival. Always get yourself ready for revival Then in this world, no one would be your rival. Why do you care what people think of you? Always try and be like honey bee; Let us make others tension free And make happiness spread like a tree. While coming you came here with nothing. While going you will take from here nothing. But while living always do something So that your deeds are memorized after leaving. No matter whatever may be the situation, Do not have any option for depression. Try to be source of someone’s inspiration That leaves a long lasting impression!!! Meditation: “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” – Proverbs 19:21 Also Read: Understanding God: He is Quick and Dispassionate Nehemiah’s Leadership Playbook: Zeal He Was God Backed Saved from Idol Worship and Death An Easter Reflection You can now partner with the Daily Dew Ministry by clicking here

I am amazed at the number of people, walking through life, deadened to the purpose for their living. They while away their time emulating the way others live, instead of living a positive life of their own. They live from a couch, watching a TV set; they sit at their computers seeking satisfaction in information and games; they live for the latest Iphone, Ipad, Xbox, or other electronic gadget. With the push of a button, they expect the abundant life. They are beings, with a light of special gifts, talents, and experiences. I want to tell them to wake up and share of themselves with a darkened world that needs their light. Where is their ambition? What is their purpose for living? We were put here to bring light to others. We need to have goals and expectations and work towards accomplishing our aspirations. What is our responsibility for the privilege of living in this world? As the sun lights our days and the moon our nights, we are being called on to light up the lives of those around us. Think about the power of light. It makes sight possible. It allows us to see things the way they really are. It eliminates the darkness. With the power of your light, darkness retreats. You have the capacity to bring
