A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.
Proverbs 25:11
I arrived at church for the evening service, parked my car and ran to the door with my coat over my head, protecting me from the blustry wind and rain. Once safe inside I glanced at my watch; "still half an hour to go before the service", I thought, "I'll pop down to the pre-service prayers". So down I ventured into our lovely chapel where all was peace and calm from the storm building up outside. There was just one other there. Jenny was sitting, leaning over her Bible, searching intently. Not to disturb her, I sat a few seats away and began to pray.
After a few moments of quiet with the gentle rustling of pages, Jenny leant across to me, her face lit up with a huge smile. "Don't you just love this verse", she said, "listen; 'a word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver' ". I must confess I've never sat down and searched through Proverbs for gems like that. "There's a lady that loves her Bible", I thought.

So glad to hear of people eager to be in God's house to get there early. So many wait until 1 minute before or 2 minutes after.
Here's one that jumped out at me today: The LORD has appeared of old to me saying: "Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love; Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you." Jeremiah 31:3
I have something for you at Sonflower.

A good cover for a wedding invitation.
I like your exhortation mike. Please pray for me I have to deal with some very rude and uncooperative bank officials, may the angels help me.
I've nominated you for an Award that you definitely deserve. Stop by my blog, Faith Fuel- for the details!
I like your 'english english' ;-))
BTW: I once heard a speaker say that he reads one chapter of Proverbs daily so that each month he reads this book. I also heard a professor say that it is the only Business Ethics textbook needed. How true!
