Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brothers to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, Coming down upon the beard, Even Aaron’s beard, Coming down upon the edge of his robes. It is like the dew of Hermon Coming down upon the mountains of Zion; For there the Lord commanded the blessing—life forever." ~Psalm 133

I hope you'll pop over to MomHeart Online today for the rest of this discussion on chapter seven of Dancing With My Father!
And I pray you find yourself surrounded by friends. If not, maybe you'll be inspired to find some? Many around you are lonely, too! Invite someone over for tea, or out for a lunch date or something fun. And do it soon! You won't regret it.
