“It's better to have a partner than go it alone Share the work, share the wealth. And if one falls down, the other helps, But if there's no one to help, tough!. “ Ecclesiastes 4:9 (The Message)
I love the truth that this passage of scripture communicates. How many of us have struggled with being a lone ranger at times? While it is true, that there are some things that you need to do yourself and initiate yourself and take responsibility, that does not mean that you do not have a strong core of support behind you to keep you on the right path, to counsel and encourage and to speak up when your path takes an odd turn.
I want to encourage you today to be the best friend that everyone wants to be around.
Be the person that everyone runs to in a time of need. Did you know just by being there and encouraging your friend, that you are helping them on their journey.
Your smile, your letter of encouragement, that extra phone call, or email are all ways that you are “pulling with them”.
Think about a tug of war match and how the contestants are straining so hard. What would happen if one of those people let go of the rope? Their friend would fall in the water, or pit or whatever was in the gap. Consider again the scripture I started the blog with. “It's better to have a partner than go it alone Share the work, share the wealth. And if one falls down, the other helps, But if there's no one to help, tough”
Remember.. “One can put a thousand to flight, but two can put ten thousand..”
Anyone want to pull together today and see what we can do?
