“An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up”
Proverbs 12:25

This photo is from our trip to Branson. We are outside the Dixie Stampede. My husband has an especially big smile because he had just chatted with 2 other Marine veterans. One of those Marines took this shot for us and we used their IPad to take their photos.
We were having a good time just being on vacation but visiting with those 2 Marines made my husband even happier. He had never met them before, one served during Vietnam and the other during Desert Shield. Marines just seem to always greet each other, shake hands, say ooh-rah, and they bring each other up. - it works just like the Bible verse promises it will
those flowers, they are pretty, but it is too cold in Missouri for outdoor blooms, all of those are silk.
It still makes for a pretty photo background.
Thank you for coming by- I hope my blog is always kind and a cheerful place to visit.
Such a good verse from your devotional. I think most of us don't grasp just how much power our words have. This inspires me to try and remember that. Your blog IS kind and cheerful! Thank you for being a bright spot in your readers' day.
ReplyDeleteMy husband, retired Air Force, also enjoys visiting with fellow vets. We have not been to Branson since we moved back home to AR. We should definitely plan a trip. Take care and many blessing to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteSo true about the power of words. I find the older I get the more I want and need to be around people whose words are uplifting. It also amazing how many people there are that are not kind and cheerful. You are a bright spot. Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteThat verse is so true! What a great photo of the two of you...it's so pretty and colorful!
ReplyDeleteReally pretty and so much truth behind this verse! And yes, your blog is always kind and cheerful :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photo!! Military men have such a special conection, glad your hubby was able to spend some time with fellow hero's. I try so hard to keep kind words in my head, heart. and speech (not always easy!) Your blog always makes me smile, I know we would be BFF's if you lived on my side of the states!!
ReplyDeleteWe love Branson! We have family there! It looks like you had a fun time!
ReplyDeleteI totally understand about the Marine brothers. My husband finds them all over too. I miss the camaraderie of being active duty. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat's a really good picture of you both, Rhonda! Glad you had a good time in Branson.
ReplyDeleteNice pic! My son is Army / there is a bond between all who serve...he was in Iraq 2x / glad he's done with it all now :)
