/joyful in a time of fear/

Greetings, friends!

With all of the stress and fear that's been raging around the world in the past few weeks, I thought I would share some encouraging things that I've found helpful. :) Hope some of this will help you smile.

"My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience."

James 1:2-3 NKJV

"But I trust in you, Lord;
I say, 'You are my God.'"

Psalm 31:14 NIV

"There's always a reason
To always choose joy
Cause there's something deeper
That the world can't destroy

Smile
When you think you can't
Smile
Get up and dance
Smile
There's a bigger plan
The storm only lasts for a while
So smile."

Smile by Sidewalk Prophets

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.
Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength."

Isaiah 26:3-4 KJV

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

John 14:27 NIV

Stay safe and trust in God, friends! He's in control. Always.

Those Questions You Get Asked By Distant Relatives And How To Answer Them

Greetings, all! You know those questions that most kids get asked sometime in their life by well-meaning great-aunts, distant cousins, and the family dentist? Yeah, mm-hm. Those questions. The ones you get tired of answering because usually the people who are asking don’t even care about the answer; they just ask out of politeness or because they don’t know what else to talk about with a kid. I hate those questions. With a passion. So, I decided to think of different answers to give when I get asked those questions, and I’m going to share a few with you. I can’t wait to see people’s reactions when I answer with these. It’s going to be priceless. XD DISCLAIMER: Always remember to be polite, respectful, and courteous when you answer an adult; even if you’ve heard the question they are asking 100,000,000 times and are sick and tired of it. Thank you. ;-D Question #1: “What Grade Are You In?” Normal Answer: “I’m in 10 th grade.” New and Improved Answer:...
