"Books are the perfect entertainment: no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for every dollar spent. What I wonder is why everybody doesn't carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life."~~~Stephen King

My Lifeguard

 đź”…Never doubt the power of two small words—“I understand”—or sitting beside someone and sharing stories over a cup of tea. It’s important to laugh—and also to give support, encouragement and validation to others who are struggling and are needing a real friend. Everyone needs someone to sit with and talk to that understands and genuinely cares. I think that’s how we start to build bridges over the raging rivers we face in life. 

đź”…But—through all life’s raging rivers, Jesus is my Bridge. If it weren’t for Him—well let’s just say I don’t think I’d still be here and then I wouldn’t be around to tell others about what Jesus has done and continues to do for me. When I feel myself slipping deeper into the abyss, He reaches down for me. When I’m drowning in that raging river, He reaches down for me. 

đź”…Dear believers, when you feel you're drowning in life's situations, don't worry. Your Lifeguard walks on water. 

đź”…My Lifeguard, Jesus, walks on water. Thank you, Jesus! Psalm 116:1~”I love the Lord, because He has heard my voice and my supplications. Because He has inclined His ear to me, Therefore I will call upon Him as long as I live.”
