Dad's Ramblings -- Refreshing Words

"For we have great joy and consolation in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed by you, brother."
 
                                                                                Philemon 7
 
What a wonderful ministry – refreshing the saints. When I was a kid, after a long day of picking beans in the field, we would head to the swimming hole. It was so refreshing to dive into the cool water. Like cold water on a hot day, the spirit is refreshed by an encouraging word. To someone struggling through a spiritual desert, an uplifting word perks up the soul. Lord, help me to give a refreshing word to someone today. "A word spoken in due season, how good it it!" (Proverbs 15:23b)
 
Today's Thought: An encouraging word refreshes the soul in the desert.
 
Have a refreshing day. Love you.
