FRIENDS ARE AN IMPORTANT PART OF OUR LIVES. SOME ARE CASUAL ACQUAINTANCES; OTHERS CLOSE FRIENDS; SILL OTHERS MORE INTIMATE "FAITHFUL FRIENDS," FRIENDS WHO ARE STEADFASTLY LOYAL, FRIENDS ON WHOM WE CAN DEPEND AT ALL TIMES AND FOR EVERY NEED.
YET MOST OF US HAVE EXPERIENCED THE HURT THAT COMES FROM FRIENDS WHO ARE UNFAITHFUL. EVEN MEMBERS OF OUR FAMILY MAY PROVE UNFAITHFUL.
HOW REASSURING TO KNOW THERE IS ONE WHO IS FAITHFUL-- FAITHFUL ALWAYS AND FAITHFUL IN EVERYTHING."KNOW THEREFORE THAT THE LORD YOUR GO IS GOD; HE IS THE FAITHFUL GOD" (DEUTERONOMY 7:9). BECAUSE OF HIS VERY NATURE, HE COULD NOT BE GOD AND BE UNAITHFUL. WE READ IN 2 TIMOTHY 2:13:
IF WE ARE FAITHLESS, HE WILL REMAIN FAITHFUL, FOR HE CANNOT DISOWN HIMSELF.
HE NEVER CHANGES. HE NEVER FAILS. HE NEVER GOES BACK ON ONE OF HIS PROMISES. GOD, BEING WHO HE IS, CANNOT CEASE TO BE WHAT HE IS. HE CANNOT ACT OUT OF CHARACTER WITH HIMSELF. BECAUSE HE IS FAITHFUL, HE WILL BE FAITHFUL IN HIS ACTIONS.
AT TIMES WE MAY FORGET HIS FAITHFULNESS TO US. WHEN TRIALS AND TESTINGS COME,IT MAY SEEM AS IF GOD HAS SURELY FORGOTTEN US. WHEN FRIENDS FAIL US AND OUR LIVES ARE FALLING APART, WE MAY FEEL HE HAS FORSAKEN US. THERE SEEM TO BE SO FEW PEOPLE WE CAN TRUST. MANY PEOPLE DO NOT KEP THEIR WORD. OUR FAITH IN HUMAN NATURRE BECOMES SHAKEN, ANDWE WONDER IF ANYONE IS HONEST.
YET THERE IS ONE, THE FAITHFUL GOD, ON WHOM WE CAN DEPEND. HE WILL NEVER LET US DOWN. HE HAS PROMISED:
"NEVER WILL I LEAVE YOU; NEVER WILL I FORSAKE YOU" (HEBREWS 13:5)

Kenzie got off of the bus screaming, "Mom it snowed!" It was so cute. Then when I got into her backpack, I found her daily sheet with this on it... Kenzie had wrote her name (not perfect but she tried) and a note from the teacher above it saying "INDEPENDENT WRITING-- ONLY VERBAL PROMPTS!" I am so excited for her! We are definately getting somewhere. Then under the teacher comments part, I find... "SHE CAME IN TELLING ME IT WAS SNOWING-- SUPER EXCITED!" I too saw this when she got home! Construction Zone Newsletter Week 2 Dear Family, This week Kenzie will learn about solving problems.
