Choose To Keep Them Near .....

Sheila Spencer September 5, 2023

“I define friendship as a bond that transcends all barriers. When you are ready to expect anything and everything from friends, good, bad, or ugly… that’s what I call true friendship.” - Maya Angelou

Today’s blog is straight to the point
This is for the friends that God does appoint
To be the ones who love you enough
To speak the truth even when it’s tough
The ones who know a sign of true friendship
Is the gift of honest answers in a relationship
This is for the ones who know all about me and love me too
The ones who you can trust to correct you.
The ones who don’t tell you what you want, but what you need to hear.
Choose and treasure these friends and keep them near

Keep them near and ……

Express your gratitude
: Take the time to thank your honest and supportive friends for their presence in your life.

Nurture open communication: Encourage open and honest conversations with your friends, creating an environment where everyone feels comfortable sharing their thoughts and feelings.


Be an honest friend: Strive to be a reliable and truthful friend who provides support when needed and honest feedback when appropriate.

Treasure and celebrate: Celebrate your close friendships by spending quality time together and acknowledging their importance.

“Friends who love you enough to share what you need to hear …. Keep these treasures near.” Sheila P. Spencer

Grateful for my truth tellers,

Sheila

Holy Week Through Their Eyes
Mar 29, 2026

I think about Holy Week through what the women saw, breathed, and experienced. I think about how they worshipped Christ during Holy Week and beyond, and what it means for us.

Spring Is Not Just A Season, It's a Spiritual Reset

This season is inviting me to reset. To slow down, let go, and make room for what is ready to grow.

Lesson from my foggy morning drive. You don’t rush. You pay attention. And by all means, keep going.
