Your Daily Inspiration for Friday October 9, 2009:

That which is praised thrives, increases and expands by Spiritual principle. Knowing this, I wisely and lovingly use my God-given ability to praise all the Good I see and seek. But today I especially praise my friends - those who were, are and will be in my life. Friends are truly worthy to be praised. Whether they are supporting, affirming, confiding, encouraging, uplifting, listening, making me laughing or even nudging me "to do the right thing", friends are a true expression of God-in-Action! On this Friendship Friday I send love and praise to friends everywhere. I even praise myself in my role as a sacred friend to others! Praise friends. Yes. Yes. Yes.

"I went outside to find a friend and could not find one there. I went outside to BE a friend and friends were everywhere"-Mom

Blessings Friends. Thanks for stopping by Daily Inspiration,
