A FRIEND IS....

The person who gives you the better of two choices.

Holds your hand when you’re scared.

Helps you fight those who try to take advantage of you.

Thinks of you at times when you are not there.

Reminds you of what you have forgotten.

Helps you put the past behind you,
but understands when you need to hold on a little longer.

Stays with you so that you have confidence.

Goes out of their way to make time for you.

Helps you clear up your mistakes.

Helps you deal with pressure from others.

Smiles for you when you are sad.

Helps you become a better person.

~ but most importantly ~

Embraces you with love when you least deserve it.

Stay Close
July 24, 2011

My friend and I were traveling together, and she seemed a bit frazzled. When we got to the airport, she forgot to have her identification readily available and couldn’t find her reservation confirmation number. The ticket agent waited patiently, smiled, and then helped her at the “self” check-in. After receiving her ticket, she asked, “Where do we go next?” The agent smiled again, pointed at me, and said to her, “Stay close to your friend.”

That can be good advice for all of us when our lives get frazzled—stay close to your friends. Although Jesus is our best friend, we also need relationships with fellow believers to help us survive in this life.

In his first epistle, Peter was writing to believers who needed one another because they were suffering for their faith. In a few short sentences in chapter 4, Peter mentioned the need to receive and give “fervent love,” prayer, and hospitality (vv.7-9). He also included the need for believers to use their spiritual gifts to minister to one another (v.10). In other passages, we’re encouraged to comfort each other with the comfort we’ve been given by God (2 Cor. 1:3-4) and to build each other up in love (1 Thess. 5:11).

When life gets difficult and we get frazzled, staying close to our Christian friends will help us to get through.

When our friends encounter trials,
We can help them if we’re near;
Some may need a word of comfort,
Others just a listening ear. —Sper

Staying close to godly friends helps us to stay close to God.

Read: 1 Peter 4:7-11

Comfort each other and edify one another. —1 Thessalonians 5:11

Bible in a year:
Psalms 35-36; Acts 25

Shavua Tov.
Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.

[Kathy in Alaska]

A Blessed Lord's Day to you and yours, Nana Hope, and thanks for today's Pledge. Thanks, AfghanMan and Penguin Girl, for your service to America.

[LaMudBug]

A friend is someone who likes you, and trusts you, even after they get to know you.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Hope you have a good week too Kathy! *hugs*

[Kathy in Alaska]

Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
for a safe and peaceful week ahead.

[Kathy in Alaska]

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Amen

[Kathy in Alaska]

A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours, Sand.

A project today? Bones doing well?

[SandRat]

Bones are doing well. Projects were to come after tasks around town, but the tasks took longer than I thought and when I got home to do the projects (yard) it was raining. Hope fully I can do the yard tomorrow.

[Arrowhead1952]

Good evening Kathy and (((HUGS))). Have a Blessed Lord’s Day tomorrow. I am getting ready to log off and finish my outside work for the day.

[Kathy in Alaska]

A Blessed Lord's Day to The Mayor and his family.

The agent smiled again, pointed at me, and said to her, “Stay close to your friend.” Good advice.

Thank you for today's sustenance for body and soul.
