Team Work!

Philippians 4:8 (The Message)

"Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true,
noble,
reputable,
authentic,
compelling,
gracious—the best, not the worst;
the beautiful, not the ugly;
things to praise, not things to curse.
Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized.
Do that, and God, who makes everything work together,
will work you into his most excellent harmonies."

I had a friend quote this verse to me today. Shirley is a very good friend and is so wise for her years:) I figured out that following a garbage truck doesn't lend itself well to these verses and neither does flailing around in the quicksand. How long did it take to figure that out, you ask? Not telling. I'm still working on getting out of the quicksand. I can see the edge and feel everyone pulling me. What a team effort it is taking, too. What would I do without my team of friends? Shudder... quake... and shudder again... Thanks everyone!
