Breakfast For Your Soul

   Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falls; for he has not another to help him up.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

Coverin’ Friends

Hello Beloved,

What a beautiful snowy day!  Yes.  I know we get a lot of flak from our northern brothers and sisters, on how we handle snow and ice here, but oh well… it is what it is.  Despite it all, the majority of our office showed up for duty today.  Go DC!  Today, I have been thinking of the worth of good, Godly friends.  They are simply priceless.  I had one of those weekends where I just needed to vent.  Now, you can’t vent to just anyone.  One of my friends, just blew off the situation… he didn’t get it.. and that was fine.  It takes a special person to handle your ‘not so good stuff’ with grace, love, and discretion (Thanks Tina, Thanks Arlene).  My friends were amazing.  My irritation was nothing earth-shattering.  Most people would have probably thought it was nothing to even be upset over.  To my friends though, they made me feel as though it was the most crucial matter in the world.  They listened, and offered their take on the matter.  I left the conversation feeling so much better.  Like I had fallen into a ditch, and they helped me out of it.  Sometimes, that’s all we need.  The situation did not change overnight, but my prospective did change.  I believe that is why one of the first comments God made about man, was that it was not good for him to be alone.  God provided a helper for Adam … Eve.  However, even for singles, this rings true.  It is not good for anyone to be alone.  It is a wonderful feeling to know that someone has our back, the same as we have theirs.  God is our best friend, whether or not we know it, but I believe the good friends we have, demonstrate physically, the principles of what God is to us spiritually… loyalty, trustworthiness, honesty, realness.

… and that Beloved… is Good News!

U Blessed

Have A Fabulous Evening and Be Safe

Share The Load -Galatians 6:2 95 of 112   Jesus said “my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:30). When we join with our brothers and sisters in Christ in a yoke of brotherly love, it makes our burdens seem lighter. September 14, 2008
