Friendly Faces

FRIENDLY FACES

by HELEN STEINER RICE



IT TAKES MORE THAN HIGH-CLASS MERCHANDISE AND BEAUTIFUL DECOR,
TO MAKE A PLACE OF BUSINESS SOMETHING MORE THAN JUST A STORE,
FOR IT IS NOT GLITTERING GARNISHMENTS THAT SPARKLE IN THE CASES,
IT'S THE WELCOME, WARMTH, AND COURTESY THAT SHINE FROM FRIENDLY FACES.



THANK YOU FOR THE NICE THINGS YOU DO THE WHOLE YEAR THROUGH. MAY THEY COME BACK MULTIPLIED MANY TIMES TO YOU.
H.S.R.





I LIFT MY HANDS TO YOU IN PRAYER.
AS A DRY LAND NEEDS RAIN, I THIRST FOR YOU.



PSALM 143:6
NCV



O GOD, YOU ARE MY GOD, I SEEK YOU,
MY SOUL THIRSTS FOR YOU;
MY FLESH FAINTS FOR YOU.



PSALM 63:1
NRSV



MANY PEOPLE ASK,
"WHO WILL GIVE US ANYTHING GOOD?"
LORD, BE KIND TO US.



PSALM 4:6
NCV



COME, O LORD, AND MAKE ME WELL.
IN YOUR KINDNESS SAVE ME.



PSALM 6:4
TLB



THE LORD IS RIGHTEOUS IN EVERYTHING HE DOES;
HE IS FILLED WITH KINDNESS.
THE LORD IS CLOSE TO ALL WHO CALL ON HIM.
YES, TO ALL WHO CALL ON HIM SINCERELY.



PSALM 145:17-18
