“Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:
If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up.
Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm.
But how can one keep warm alone?
Though one may be overpowered,
two can defend themselves.
A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”
- Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
That’s what my Two Toads Digi-Journal entry is about – friends.
Friends are important. None us can live life alone. The old cliché says, “No man is an island.” It’s true. We need people. In particular, we need friends. Friends to help us. Friends to encourage us. Friends to advise us. Friends to walk the Christian walk with us.
Friends also make life more interesting. Pause, as I did while writing this entry, and think back to a time when you laughed with a friend, cried with a friend, or simply enjoyed a sunny day with a friend. Friends make life richer. Friends are a true gift and blessing from God.
Let’s pause & thank God for our friends.
Heavenly Father, thank you for our friends. They are special to us. They are a blessing to us. We love each and every one of them. Thank You for the gift of the friends that You’ve given to us. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
