Sisters and Brothers,Life is short and too often we waste time on opinions. One of our greatest blessings is freedom of someone else’s opinion of who, what and how others think of us and how we of them! Let us embrace what is written by loving God, our neighbor and equally important ourselves. Remember A sweet word multiplies friends and mitigates enemies. And thankful words abound in a good man.”
Love and Joy in Abba God,
Apostle Brenda D. Cooper
“Do not be willing to become an enemy instead of a friend to your neighbor. For an evil man will inherit reproach and disgrace, as will every sinner who is envious and double-tongued. You should not extol yourself, like a bull, in the thoughts of your soul, lest perhaps your strength may be cast down through foolishness, which would consume your leaves, and destroy your fruit, and leave you behind like a dry tree in the desert. For a wicked soul will destroy the one who has it. For it gladly provides enemies to him, and it will lead him to the fate of the impious. A sweet word multiplies friends and mitigates enemies. And thankful words abound in a good man.”
Sirach 6:1-5 CPDV
