Scripture: Proverbs18:24
There are persons for companionship, but then there are friends who are more loyal than family.
Thought for the Day: Today, I am thankful for friends. I know part of this spirit of thankfulness comes from spending some time with my good friend Kelly at the Preaching Conference I attended a week ago. In light of friendship, I am reminded of a couple of quotes:
Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.
~Helen Keller
My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me.
~Henry Ford
In the life of our faith community, friendship and being spiritual family is so very important. A lot of those who find their way into our congregation are seeking friendship and a spiritual family. My question for all of us is how best can we be that to those seeking, searching, yearning?
Prayer: Merciful God, allow your Spirit to move through me so that I may serve those around me; befriend those who feel disconnected; help to build community that resembles your kingdom. Amen.
