Scripture of the Week: Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

Happy Thursday Friends :)

I hope you're all having a great week, and that the Lord is doing amazing things in your life and your faith.

I ended up taking a few days off from blogging and social media and the like to spend a few days at the lake with my family. We started visiting this particular lake resort almost twenty years ago, and those few days of the summer were some that we all ended up looking forward to each and every year. Unfortunately, because of my schedule being kind of crazy the last few summers, I hadn't actually been able to go with my family since 2016! I was so thankful it worked out for me to go this year, and I decided to try and enjoy every moment of time spent with family, and so I ended up not doing my usual Monday and Wednesday posts. Everything will be back to normal now though, and today I'm here with this week's edition of Scripture of the Week. 

I'm so thankful that I took the leap to start this weekly scripture share, and I hope it's reaching someone who needs these words as much as I did.

Today's verse is especially suited for all the loneliness we're currently experiencing because of all the social isolation. It reminds us to surround ourselves with others who can lift us up, and always remember that even if you physically can't be around family and friends, it's still important to stay connected through phone calls, emails, text messages, face time, whatever way you're able to. It's not a sign of weakness to need others, and instead, it's something we're actually Biblically instructed to do. 

"Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up."

Ecclesiastes 4: 9-10

Always stay connected with those who can encourage you in Christ, and always remember to shine a light for Jesus in each and every way you can.

Have a great rest of your day and God Bless!

We've had some really nice days, and my husband and I were finally able to put our garden in, and various flowers and the like. We've also had a couple of lovely, rainy days as well, and I love how green everything is looking in our yard right now.
