I am thankful for my encouraging friends, their advice and words of wisdom and hope in different seasons. The most encouraging friends always direct me back to Him. Sometimes I think I need something else, but they know He is all I really need.

This week I’ve been encouraged by a phone call from a friend, a chat with another friend on the street, and the sharing of a few songs with another friend. I hope you find encouragement in these songs too. Let’s remember to encourage and strengthen ourselves, and one another, in the Lord as David did in 1 Samuel 30:1-6.
