Hi everyone!
It's a beautiful morning and it's Friday! I'm so thankful for Sabbath.
I'm also really looking forward to GYC! This morning I read the following passage which reminded me of the wonderful blessing (and responsibility) of Christian friends:
"Gatherings for social intercourse may be made in the highest degree profitable and instructive when those who meet together have the love of God glowing in their hearts, when they meet to exchange thoughts in regard to the word of God, or to consider methods for advancing His work and doing good to their fellow men. When nothing is said or done to grieve the Holy Spirit of God, but He is regarded as a welcome guest, then God is honored, and those who meet together will be refreshed and strengthened." Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, p. 339.
I pray that this will describe the experience of those who associate with me.

Wow! That's an enlightening quote. So our social intercourses ought to be made spiritual gatherings...but often we make our spiritual gatherings mere social intercourses. Thanks for sharing.
hello there... enjoyed the quote... that's my prayer also, it's often hard to remember that as Christians we ought to always live as in the presence of God. Thanks for the reminder! Can't wait till GYC : P
