I try to incorporate this in my Tweeting & blogging. Though it would be nice--of course--for return "favors" I sincerely do not social network exclusively for this reason. I enjoy helping others.The unexpected payback is exactly what Andrea said above: I've met so many lovely, good-hearted people that I would have never known otherwise. These kind souls have helped me through several rough patches and I hope I've done, and can do, the same for them.Elaine Stockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349776598113016833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-16892494322824291872014-10-10T14:20:30.306-04:002014-10-10T14:20:30.306-04:00"Believe every day for divine connections, ap..."Believe every day for divine connections, appointments, and favor."

People I barely know have been such a blessing to me in both my writing and editing. I love to return the favor. Some of the best advice I ever received was to believe every day for divine connections, appointments, and favor. God can open doors we could never imagine. Yes, Jesus would network! :)Andrea Merrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886398056031430593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-10636500889536261172014-10-10T10:36:29.765-04:002014-10-10T10:36:29.765-04:00Wonderful article!
