One papered me with stickers
The other readjusted,
removed, stuck herself.
They squabbled.
We were baffled.
Time for timeout?
Yuleisy got to the bottom of it
She’s fighting for you, she said,
because her friend has offended you.
In the stillness,
Sandy

How about letting God lead you to sponsor a child from the Dominican Republic this week. It’d be such a gift to both of you. And if you do, using this link this week, you could receive a free Lisa Leonard necklace.

Back in the Fall of ’70 in San Mateo, CA, the Lord dropped that verse on me very strongly! I had just become 25, as I recall. I was right in the midst of a very serious situation with my former husband. The Lord laid that on me to let me know HE would work things out and I didn’t need to be a “fighter” for me and my baby. My husband was a Christian, but serious issues were occurring. Anyhow, when I saw the Word and a bit of your sharing, I sure understood. Thanks, Sandy.
If we could only get hold of that…
